A review by allieta
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

I want to like this book. BUT -- wow. It is way too long. I actually couldn't finish it. The unique style, which bewitched me at the beginning, started to drag on and on... and on and on. The play by play through Marilyn Monroe's career lasts 700 (!!!) pages -- much too long. I love this author but the editor (or someone!) needed to cut down the concept to maybe half the length, which is about as far as I made.
