I actually never finished that book. It just kinda creeped me out and, as interesting and compelling a book as it was, just stopped being fun after a while. It's just hard to read a book where the narrator is a sociopath with no real personality to latch onto. I had the same problem with Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates.

Oh I loved Zombie,but JCO is one of my favourite authors anyway. Her other books are a lot better though, like Blonde or the Grave Diggers Daughter.


reading this right now and I love it

I don't think I've actually finished one of her books, but I definitely need to pick Blonde back up. That's a nice headfuck of a book. And I won't deny enjoying the scene where Marilyn Monroe gets DP'ed.
