A review by storysteph
Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates

4.0

i think a lot of people give this book a lower rating because the subject matter makes them feel uncomfortable. and it's true; the book is about a sexual predator who preys on young boys and teenagers. i read this book before my son was born, and doubt that i could read it now because of the intense emotions i'd feel as a parent. i gave this book 4 stars not because i read it and thought, "that was awesome!" not every book needs to make your entertainment enjoyable. this book disturbed me while i read it and haunts me still, like a bad memory or an old wound. if that's not your bag, there's always nick sparks or danielle steele.
