I've already read OVOR so I substituted A Room of One's Own for this month. I'll probably still participate in some of the question/answers...if I can remember!
Finished this last night. I really enjoyed it. Some of the imagery was disturbing. I can't imagine growing up in a situation like that. I would be nice to find out how he turned out with two gardians who were basically children themselves.
I started off really liking the book. I enjoyed his style, agree with michealann, the imagery was disturbing. The end was disappointing though...once Joel got sick (not sure why) it felt like going down a slide, after climbing to top the ride down goes by so quickly you feel like you missed something.
What the heck happened?
It was an interesting read, not totally sure what I made of it. It did seem to change pretty suddenly once Joel got sick. It just jumped and it took me a moment to realise what had happened.
Finally caught up on my reviews though.
I agree with Sondie. I thought it started off well, the Southern Gothic atmosphere was great, but it ended up losing me along the way. I feel like I missed the point too. Oh well. I've read In Cold Blood so I thought maybe the next of his to try would be Breakfast at Tiffany's. Has anyone read it?
