Zee Bell Jar

I like the beginning about the electrocution. I kind of makes me wonder if the entire family is getting killed. Whenever I hear about the Electric Chair I think of the movie Monster's Ball because there is a prisoner that gets executed that way, I think the movie was set in Texas. It was good, Halle Berry won an Oscar for it. She wasn't the one getting killed, that was P. Diddy...or wait maybe just Diddy...Puff Daddy?


Anyway, back to the actual book. This book also reminds me of Girl, Interrupted. I never read the book but the movie was awesome. McLean Hospital. I have researched it in my years of being alive, out of plain curiosity. That is where Susanna Kaysen was treated, as well as Ray Charles, James Taylor, and yes, Sylvia Plath.


Now back to the story?

Yes, let us begin shall we.

I am not trying to procrastinate this, it is just that this book reminds me of many things, that actually getting through it takes a while, but not because it is not good. It is really interesting, a good book gets you to think.


This Doreen character somewhat annoys me. I am not sure exactly what it is, but it is just something. I like Esther a lot. She is good at narrating. Though, I have noticed quite a few things bother her. She doesn't like the snotty girls she is staying with, but she said that was partially out of jealousy. She doesn't like short men, because she feels awkward considering she is very tall and lanky. She also doesn't like the smoke in her room, from Doreen's cigarettes.

I have not read much. However, the part I have seem good. I am interested to know how her life is going to pan out because she mentioned that she is given a lot of free stuff, and that now she gave something, a decoration from an item, to her baby. I wonder how far into this future this will be for her.

This is also supposed to be a semi-autobiography of Sylvia Plath, so I am sort of scared for how it will end...

Well, anyway, I guess I will find out this weekend.
