A review by sausome
Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

This book left a bad taste in my mouth, and an overall "squiggy" feeling ... I've read disturbing books before, memoirs, mostly, but somehow, this situation fictionalized feels worse than if it was real ... I dunno, maybe because literally ANYTHING could happen? I think I breathed a sigh of relief as I closed the book having finished it. This is not to say that Oates writing isn't exceptional -- it totally is -- or that her ability to get into these several mindsets (all disturbing in their own ways) isn't masterful -- definitely -- but the story was just too *shudder* for me.
