I really enjoyed this book all the way through. Plath's writing reminded me a lot of Vonnegut (which i loved), but was also so unique and entrancing. To reiterate what everyone else who reads this book says; the racism throughout is very weird and very unnecessary. However, I loved reading this and I look forward to reading some of Plath's poetry in the future!!
