Heartfelt and evocative. Plath's writing has always struck me as slightly adolescent, but this book is spot-on at describing the distorted perspective of depression and Plath's own emotional inner world. I'm kind of tempted to say I relate to it too much to really enjoy reading it, if that makes any sense.
