Sylvia Plath is a master of leading one down the path of the descent into madness and despair. The voice of the character draws the reader in, in a hypnotic, can't-put-this-down, kind of way.


A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever

Helpful Score: 1


An excellent book for those of that are looking to resolve issues underneath our weight struggles. This isn't a do this, do that type of diet book. In fact it's not a diet book at all, but a journey of the self and the body, through healing old memories, and old belief systems through connecting with Spirit, releasing fear, embracing loving, and stepping into freedom.

The trilogy is brilliant. I'm in awe of Stieg Larrson's writing, how he weaved the story and characters so artfully. I was always intrigued, invested in the characters and wanting more. His death is such a loss to the literary world. Lisbeth Salander is my new favorite fictional heroine.

She writes in a circular kind of way, weaving in stories that for her signify the point she is trying to make. It's hard to get accustomed to if you like linear reading, but her metaphors are beautiful. The gems are the questions she asks the reader at the end of every chapter. Taking these questions alone and meditating, writing on them was worth the read.

A personal and descriptive tale of abuse and neglect by very dysfunctional, twisted parents with their own childhood scars and misfortunes. What struck me most was the author's voice and resilience. What tremendous courage to survive, heal, and say "no more."
