Re-read several times

This is a book that I enjoyed so much that I have read it several times.  Llewellyn is a very memorable character.  This was the first of Penman's novels that I read and I have subsequently read everything she has written.  She is among my favorite authors.

All writings of Gabriel Marquez are world class magical. Better when read the second time, after some years, than the first time.

I've read this five or six times and have just now ordered the kindle version.  There are so many answers in this book, and some I have never forgotten.

So much better reading it the second time around. Loved the book and would recommend it to people like me who put off reading the series for years.

Well, my test is would I read it again (& again...), and for this one I'd certainly enjoy coming back and rereading it from time to time.  Though I think for the second go, I'll see what it's like as an audiobook.

I don't know how many times I have read it. But every time it is good to be reconnecting to a beautiful classic full of joyful moments crafted by a gifted story teller.

I purchased it online because my book is falling to pieces from being read again and again. And with each reading I get something more, notice some character traits I had not perceived before, and just enjoy it as I did the first time...

I enjoyed re-reading it even more than I had the first time.  There are so many subtle details that make this story more and more complex and beautiful with every reading!!!

Love this book so much. Could re-read it a million times and still feel like if I was reading it for t he first time.

I've probably read this book 20+ times since my sister lent it to me several years ago. It's just one of those comfortable, lovable and relatable books that you want to read again and again. I think I've read it so much because each time it's just as good as the last, it's like visiting an old friend.

Excellent book and this is a repeat reading since I originally read it about 10 years ago. During this reading Im rediscoring material that shines more clearly sincere the last reading.

Some novels you can read once, enjoy them thoroughly, but never feel the need to read them again. Not so with this book. I originally read it when it first came out, loved it, and have read it again many times since, enjoying it anew every time. In fact, I just finished reading it for the umpteenth time, prompting this review.

It is definitely among my handful of favorite novels of all time, from any genre. It's absolutely worth seeking out in hard-copy, and if they ever release it on Kindle, grab a copy. I certainly will.

I bought this little book a few years back after having read it in the library. Well much to my shock and awe, it was even better the second time around. I honestly think you will enjoy the read. Writing this review makes me want to read it again.

More specific the book covers many different topics. Such as:
Chp 1 - Introduction to reading.
Chp 2 - Reading NONfiction.
Chp 3 - Reading poetry.
Chp 4 - Reading fiction.
Chp 5 - The larger context.
Chp 6 - A time to read.
Appendix - Reading with a plan.

Probably the most helpful sections are in the back of the book. Chp 5 and the appendix are the most helpful sections in the whole book. (Any reading plan will do but this one is well laid out.)

Start reading!

This is my 3rd time rereading this book and I've got to say, each time I turn to it, it offers something new to me. I do not think this is the simple story of Sylvia Plath and her descent into madness and depression. Although there are some biographical elements, there is more to it than that. This third time, I'm getting a societal critique (maybe gendered?) coming through the novel, but have yet to flesh it out. So I definitely suggest that you read it more than once, especially if (like me) all you got the first time was a confirmation of your own feelings. Reading this at 15 when I was in high school, I felt so affirmed and reliable in my feelings - I had depression and I was stubborn in that belief, cause LOOK so did Plath. The second round, at 18, I felt a much more sympathetic pull towards her but was also turned off by some of her actions. This third turn, in the height of college, I can't help but reflect my own feelings unto the character and see myself in Esther, but coming from an academic pov, I also can't help but see some of the more complex elements hidden deep within this book. Plath was an avid critique of the societal conventions of her time and spoke from a distinct "feminine" voice which is at play here and should not be overlooked.

I LOVE all these books and have re-read them multiple times. Glad to now have them in a portable format.
