A review by sdbecque
Little Bird of Heaven by Joyce Carol Oates
2.0
when i was in high school i read a lot of joyce carol oates. as one of my professors commented: "that's young for most of her stuff. i've come to think i was probably too young to appreciate a lot of it, and living in syracuse i'm especially interested in her books about upstate new york.
however, this book was not for me. the repetition and stream of conscious writing bored me. the first part is told in first person from the girl's point of view, and the second section told in third person point of view from the boy, and i think the story was much more suited to third person writing - and i found that section more enjoyable. slightly.
eh, just not a fan of this one. oates is so prolific, doesn't she have a book out every year? i think i need someone to recommend me the cream of the crop.
