Review: Fox

Fox Fox by Joyce Carol Oates
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I have so much to say about this book. It was my first Oates and likely I should not have started with this one. It was well-written and I kept reading it but the subject matter is awful. Truly awful. I hated Lolita and I hate this too. I don't care if it's literary. And I also totally guessed the ending.

Review: Finding Grace

Image
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read A LOT of books so it's really really rare for me to find a book with a premise I have never seen before. And this one took the cake. By the end of the first chapter, you're like WHOA did not see that coming. And then you're spending a bunch of the rest of this book reorienting. I know people will have mixed feelings but I loved it. I liked the twist and then the turn the story took. I liked how the author played with the way stories are told. I liked how the characters grew and surprised you both with their stupidity and humanness. I think this one will be controversial, people will love or hate. I am of the former camp. And I loved listening to the audio. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
