"If you love Sylvia Plath's poetry and are fascinated by her life then this might be an interesting book. Caring little about Plath or her work, the poetic language of this novel did little to create tension or sustain my interest."
"A sympathetic glance at the last days of one of the finest poets of our time. I think Ms. Moses did an incredible job of recreating her thoughts and feelings."
"I found this book in a recycle dumpster outside of the library and picked it up because Sylvia Plath has fascinated me since the first time I heard about her and the gas oven.
It was hard to put down. Very well researched and written, and Kate Moses can phrase certain intangible emotions perfectly. I admit that I enjoyed the book for mostly personal reasons - my mild obsession with Plath, and having plodded miserably and antagonizingly through a relationship built on symbiotic compromise.
Other than that, the book ended in a weird spot. Syliva was almost on a high note...and while it is important to recognize the ups and downs of her emotions, it seems almost like a Disney movie injustice to leave off right there without examining what led to her ultimate breakdown."
