franniiia 's review for:
The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath
challenging
dark
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
If I hadn't been stuck on a plane for a couple hours I probably would not have finished it. The writing is good and I don't tend to have too big of an issue with unlikeable main characters, I'm actually starting to really like them and find them really interesting to read about normally, but this time it was a little tiring and a lot of times I had to cringe at some things.
Overall just not really for me, I guess.
