Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-16 00:00:00 Kevin Stark The book as a biography was a good one ( although since I haven’t read other biographies to compare it to maybe my thoughts are not objective enough) Hayman did his research and he presented facts and aspects of Sylvia’s behavior, personality and life. I found his writing easy to follow and not tiring at all. I also appreciated the back story and info he shared on multiple poems of hers every now and then. Although the riddle and mystery around Plath’s suicide still remains foggy Hayman’s study was well done. Now as far as Sylvia’s life is concerned I am speechless. Unfortunately, I am not able to find words to describe the feelings Plath gives me. I am still conflicted about Ted Hughes, although now his personality is clearer to me and I understand a part of him, but I still can't decide what my opinion about him is. Anyway, if you are into Plath's poetry it's obviously a book for you...

Βίβα Συλβια!!
