Book Reviews of Zombie: 9
Book Review: Gripping and Intense
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, I am a Joyce Carol Oates fanatic - I have yet to read something that she has written that has disappointed me. Zombie continues in this tradition. Zombie is a terrifying look at a psychopath - a molestor. Oates takes us inside his thought process, so that the reader can not separate themselves from the insane. In an intense, introspective, and very short novel, the reader sees Quentin (the psycopath) justify his actions to himself and the reader hears the voice of insanity. Oates does here what she does best - capture human extremes. With terrifying accuracy and real-ness, the reader is introduced to the grotesque.
