The Yellow Wallpaper

Great story. Hard to put down. Size, feel and readability all good (my eyes aren't what they used to be). Happy to have this in my library.

The book was amazing! Definitely a short read, this copy is only 15 pages, so it's good if you're trying to get back into reading. It's very thin, like a book you'd get in a high school English class for a project, and it even has pages for notes in the back and an explination of the book in the front. The only reason this is getting four instead of five is because the book itself was shipped in one of the bags, which makes sense due to how little it is. However, this did cause it to come a little bent up. Since its a thin book, it was easy to just leave under some other heavier books in order to flatten it out, so no harm seriously done. Attached pictures are of after I left it overnight under some books!

I love this short story, works on many levels. I love the extra pages at thw end because it is in old type English and I was able to write down words and definitions so it was a nice learning experience too. I have Bipolar and remembered reading this in English lit. class, it still speaks to me and I'm very happy that now I can own my own copy!

The Yellow Wallpaper is a classic with an important message about mental health and women’s rights, and the writing is undeniably atmospheric. That said, the story can feel slow and repetitive at times, and the 19th-century style makes it a bit harder to connect with for modern readers. It’s worth reading for its historical and literary significance, but it wasn’t as engaging as I had hoped.

easy read! portrays the disastrous effects of male control in the 19th century that still lingers in present times. bought this book after it was mentioned in “It’s Not Hysteria” by Karen Tang. amazing read as well!!!

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short but absolutely fascinating read. It’s a powerful and thought-provoking story, especially if you enjoy feminist literature. It offers deep insights into mental health, gender roles, and societal expectations during the time it was written. Despite its brevity, it leaves a lasting impression and plenty to think about.

This was an interesting short story.

I purchased this because it is referenced in a contemporary book I adore (Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door) and I wanted to check it out. I’m glad I did! This might be a very short story but it’s deeply haunting and very interesting. It’s interesting even if you don’t discuss all the literary inferences it’s known for. Definitely recommend regardless if you’re a lover of classical pieces of writing or not.
