ezrasupremacy 's review for:
Frisk
by Dennis Cooper
book 7/18 for my october horror challenge (again, let’s pretend i haven’t given up on that)
this was my second attempt at reading frisk, which i had previously dnf-ed at about 40-50%. at the time it was one of the first of these kinds of books that i attempted to read, so i reckon it makes sense that it didn’t work for me then.
i finished closer yesterday and frisk today. i definitely liked closer significantly more than i liked frisk, which similarly to “the sluts” takes the easy way out of making all the murder be made-up.
cooper’s writing style still feels very detached, which i think is quite interesting, tho in this one i felt it was more descriptive than closer had been. frisk felt more chaotic than closer, especially since the narrator switched up so much and so in-between, that it was kind of hard to follow at times, but also rather interesting to read.
overall i think this is the cooper book that i am least likely to re-read this far (unlike the sluts and closer, which i will both definitely be re-reading)
