Which of the 4 books was your favorite and why?

My favorite book out of the four we read was The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Although it was written decades ago, this novel is never obsolete, and its themes can still be applied to people today. What makes this novel so good is how scary the reality of depression is. Because the story is written in first person the reader thinks the main character, Esther, is normal. But to other people she must look insane and impassive. This novel can teach its readers many different lessons about life and can show the negative effects of women suppression in society.
