omfgitstabitha: If you want to know about plath's life on the daily this is the book for you. You can read her inner thoughts and things she told no one else. I have read 60% of the book so far and I'm highlighting the quotes I like because she is so very good with words. This is a masterpiece and I am so happy it is available. If you like Sylvia plaths poetry or The Bell Jar.. just take a minute and look into this book it will open your mind to what she was going through when she wrote what she published.

Mélany: Bel exemplaire. Après avoir lu The Bell Jar et acheté la collection complète de ses poèmes je lis à présent son journal. Sylvia Plath avait vraiment un type d'écriture qui sort du lot...captivant.

Andy devilAndy devil: Plath never ceases to amaze. She's becoming my all time favourite writer alongside Poe. I've just started to read this book so can't really give an opinion, but I don't think Plath's feelings need to be put to judgement. All I can say is, so far, I'm enjoying it a lot, maybe gettint a lil' bit of confussion because english is not my first language and there's a lot of slang that I'm trying to put into context, but so far so good. Now, on the other hand, the cover and the design are amazing... but the material is REALLY delicate, I've already accidentally folded one of the corners of the cover and that makes me sad because I like my books to look as inmaculate as possible - at least on the outside -, and I think that is the only bad thing about it. But above that, it is a lovely and amazing edition, really recommend buying this one, and it's quite amazing for the price. Hope you guys enjoy the reading.

Kerjoshin: As a woman deeply affected by poetry and great literature, of course I would stumble across Plath. However, it wasn't in my studies that I came to know her work, but through the charming compliments of someone who felt I earned her poems as a description- I believe he was nuts- but the work, the words, no, no, THAT was brilliance! These journals are an archive of mid 20th century America and a veritable gold mine of insight into one of the world's premiere writers (female or no). The entries, although privately recorded and oft scandalized by the Ted Hughes/marriage fiasco, come off as less of a personal musing than a practice run for print. Plath does a darling job of explaining the mundane but the undercurrent of inferiority and rapture for writing come through like a beacon in her quest for talent in a sea of self-doubt. Plath is a prolific writer (the volume is a heap of dead weight paper) and not a page is wasted with her thoughts. For anyone looking to understand one woman's intelligent foray into her own psyche, collegiate literary yearnings, and the basis of her thoughts and feelings pre/antedating her marriage: BUY THIS! This is one set of pages that will alter your...
