Review title: What's all the hoopla?
Product review: I guess it's just me, but I really didn't like this book. The story was just ok and the prose was so laborious and repetitive that it kind of circled back on itself a few times. It didn't help that the edition I have had so many typo's in it that I wanted to burn the darned thing and send the ashes back to the publishers (Ariah's name was even misspelled in a couple of places). The only reason I finished this book at all is because I stuck with it, hoping it would get better, and by the time I realized it was going to pretty much stink throughout, I was too far in to NOT finish it. If this is a good example of Oates' work, I definitely won't be reading more from her.
