The Wild Zone by Joy Fielding

4.0

I’ve read Joy Fielding in the past and liked her…but The Wild Zone was completely different from her other books. It is less thriller and more character study. Not that this was too heavy for vacation…it was just unexpected. I don’t expect all thrillers to get into the psychological aspects of their characters… especially with authors not known for those deeper character developments. When I read the other Fielding books (Missing Pieces and Charley’s Web) they were solid thrillers, but not anything too intense or emotional. The Wild Zone caught me off-guard with its slow-paced storyline, not to mention its surprise twist ending. For Fielding die-hards, be prepared for an unusual novel. For those unfamiliar with this author and with thrillers in general, this might be a good book to try and get your toes wet with another genre.
