A review by duckoffimreading
Wonderland by Joyce Carol Oates
3.0
Depressing depressing book
This took me forever to read. I like bizarre story lines, but this one didn’t seem to make any progress. Just the retelling of tragic family stories one after another. No breaking of the vicious cycle. Lots of detail - too much detail, to the point of tediousness in reading. I got to the end and had a WTF moment. I am giving it 3 stars for the parts that had my attention...
