A review by honeyreads1066
Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

I think this book is a very ambitious choice to start with when you've never read Oates' work before. I like that it's written like poetry but with what I expected the content to be about I found that it disconnected me from the story and the characters. While I'm usually one for abstract pieces of work, the writing style just was not for me but I am intrigued to read other books by this author (maybe a short story ) to get a better feel of the style without the pressure of reading a full-length novel.
