Couldn't put it down!

Excellent! I couldn't put it down. I was hooked from the very beginning. I love many of her books but I think this has to be the best so far. Sex, family life, drama - the way she depicts her characters, she puts a disturbing edge to all of them, that's what draws me in. I couldn't help but think, "this is real life," whether we like to believe that or not.

Moderate

I didn't intend to finish reading this book, but once I started I couldn't stop. I didn't like it all that much, but it wasn't a waste of time. It was well written and vivid, while disturbing at times. Honestly, the relationship between Enid and Felix intrested me, and Warren's tale was worthwile as well, but I didn't really like it as a whole. Some parts were quite predictable or seemed rough around the edges. If you're a fan, I'm sure you'll like it, but others may be wary.

Just great - a shivering experience

Read this book and you will know how people lived in the 50's. Read this book and you will know how people live today - whith the same dreams, illusions, threats and hunger. But with a big difference - in a more complicated world. You must remember this is a magnificant book - I just can't recommend it enough.

A great book, yet disturbing at times

This book stresses Oates' ability to create fascinating characters with absolute realism. Although there were some very disturbing instances throughout the book, it truly made me think. Oates' literary style was ingenious, bringing to concept of foreshadowing to a new level. Although I did not enjoy it as much as I did Foxfire, I found it very interesting. It was hard to get into at first, yet once you become absorbed, it is hard to put it down. Defenitely recommended for Oates' fans and first-timers alike.
