A review by reillybr
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

4.0

This 700 page book took me a long time to get through, but I was never bored. If anything, JCO built up the suspense and tension so that toward the end I was barreling through it. Her writing style is more poetry and prose, so sometimes I has a hard time sifting through the pages, and sometimes I was caught up in how she put things. Mostly though, it's made me fascinated by Marilyn. Her portrayal of her was so human and so disturbing. This book is very dark, but very worth it.
