          <body><![CDATA[I am glad this book is in my book shelf.  I find myself referring to Chapters over and over. The book is actual case study's.

          <body><![CDATA[I see why this book was popular.  As a Christian I did not care for the whacked out characters used to resemble God, Respect, Belief and the &quot;yo<br/>Mammy&quot; type sentences. I did not agree with this book. My Niece enjoyed this book, and 75% of the population too.  I was disappointed.   ]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I've been wanting to read this book for decades. I finally purchased this well penned book at my independent book store &quot;quail Ridge&quot;.  Treasuring the classics and absorbed in what I've read regarding Silvia Plath's life. Many of the great classics have these fascinating back story's to the authurs soul and life. Magically this read  captures the character, city and place in time.  It helps if you do a small look-up Bio on on Sylvia Plath prior to reading this book for a richer experience. You'll experience the journey on the pages and will feel all sorts of wide range emotions that you can connect to your own personal belief.   ]]></body>
