A review by jennjennsan
Them by Joyce Carol Oates

1.0

I could not digest this book at all. The story of her student that this book is based on, is poorly written. I agree that the actual story of this girl is a good one, it is her life story as she says. Unfortunately the way Joyce Carol Oates wrote FOR her was dry and had no feeling, because it is NOT her life she is writing about. I wish the book would have been written by the girl the story is based on, she would have been able to express her own story with passion and from her heart. I was not able to even finish this book, it was very forced and probably one of the worst written books I have ever read.
