"This is a book that would probably be best read the way it was written, a page or two at a time over a period of years. Roughly 700 pages at one gulp can be an overdose. Plath is a good writer and a perceptive and intelligent woman, but living inside her head for very long isn't comfortable even for an observer. Knowing the ending in advance, of course, gives the reader an edge on Plath and adds an unintended layer of irony to many entries and an involuntary little shiver to comments like "I desire the things which will destroy me in the end.""
"a christmas gift from bridget. the absolute best gift i've ever received. i can only hope to articulate my feelings as beautifully as sylvia does in every passage. her madness precludes the method of her demise, and has very little to do with ted hughes. my bible, my go-to."
"Sylvia Plath is amazing. She's one of two writers who, when I read their journals, sat there and thought how very closely their thoughts echoed my own (although she's FAR more eloquent about it). (The other writer is Anais Nin.) I have felt a kinship with her for a long time, which is disturbing considering her slow descent into depression, resulting in suicide...something I have never considered and cannot imagine."
"It's astounding how much I relate to Sylvia in these journals. I think all feminine beings need to read this. Her entries are honest and raw: revealing her sensitivities, obsessions, routines, insecurities...
More intimate than any of her poetry books, Plath's journals offer greater insight into both her personal and literary struggles.
This book is of great value to me: and I'm sure I will continue referring to it for many years."
