The Bell Jar chronicles the breakdown of the brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful Esther Greenwood, a woman slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's demise with such intensity that the character's insanity becomes completely real, even rational -- as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

Una novela melancólica y densa

3 stars

Creo que no se lo recomendaría a nadie que no esté particularmente interesado en la vida de Sylvia Plath, porque a pesar de que tiene pasajes muy poéticos y que invitan a la reflexión; la apatía y la depresión que sufre la protagonista son contagiosas y hacen que aunque breve, resulte un libro pesado.

Algunas personas también me han comentado que el inicio es lento y sin embargo, no es que no haya actividad y varios personajes presentes, sólo que los mismos no son de mayor importancia para la protagonista que nos los narra, y por lo tanto, nos resultan aburridos e intrascendentes.
