Interesting for sure. Would like some more science but maybe that’s still to come?

I don’t consider myself a great literary mind but…this is not that good? I don’t understand the hype surrounding Plath (at least as a poet). Also: racist?????

I fear this is not giving. Going to stick with it but I am not currently hopeful.

I fear he’s done it again

This trilogy is unlike anything I’ve ever read. I love it. I hate it. The emotional roller coaster is unparalleled. Please read this

Glad I stuck with it but wow so many pop culture references I wonder how it will age

“‘I think I’m all set here,’ he says, and lol of course he isn’t going to kiss me. ”

Using “lol” in a book made me physically recoil. Not a fan but maybe it’ll grow on me.

WHAT

I am loving this so far!!!

“But lo! … with crimson hand Aurora

Leads forth from morning dales the sun”

“The less we love her when we woo her,

The more we draw a woman in,

And thus more surely we undo her

Within the witching webs we spin.”

“Not thinking of the proud world’s pleasure,
But cherishing your friendship’s claim,
I would have wished a finer treasure
To pledge my token to your name—
One worthy of your soul’s perfection,
The sacred dreams that fill your gaze,
Your verse’s limpid, live complexion,
Your noble thoughts and simple ways.”

This book should have been shorter I think
