She does have a very particular and indivdual style that I can see people wouldn't like. Its very similar to Margaret Atwood's style in that sense, you wither like it or you don't.<br /><br />Having said that, I havent read this book of hers or even heard of it, it seems weird that she would write young adult fiction.Rebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-2788500413244549732010-03-19T20:44:12.630-07:002010-03-19T20:44:12.630-07:00I actually liked the book.

But it was probably due to the fact that it reminded me of another book written by Oates which I loved TONS called Big Mouth and Ugly Girl.Persephone https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317565822472679929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-64137466639598799922010-03-19T15:48:44.592-07:002010-03-19T15:48:44.592-07:00Just found your blog via the book blog hop-I am a ...Just found your blog via the book blog hop-I am a follower now and look forward to reading your postsMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-76940585335012453842010-03-19T13:36:05.311-07:002010-03-19T13:36:05.311-07:00I'm not a reader of Joyce Carol Oates--is this...I'm not a reader of Joyce Carol Oates--is this typical of her writing? The subject matter wouldn't have drawn my interest at all but the fragmented writing would have done me in, for sure. I appreciate your frankness--Nice review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
