Sylvia and the Bell Jar

Sylvia and The Bell Jar are both excellent and moving. Sylvia is the biopic of the poet Sylvia Plath's life starring Gwyneth Paltrow; The Bell Jar is a work of fiction by Sylvia Plath. Both the movie and the book pretty much tell the same story. The movie is very good, and, in this role, Paltrow looks a lot like the writer. The Bell Jar is so good that the reader may even feel varying degrees of sadness after finishing it. I have a feeling that reading the words of depressed people can affect the reader.

They are both worthwhile, even though I normally prefer the book, and they may stay with you past the credits and the back cover.
