Bellefleur
Author: Joyce Carol Oates
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover

Helpful Score: 3


One of the most pretentious, tedious, and over-written books I have ever tried to slog through. About 400 pages too long. Undecipherable use of flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks. Wanton over-use of the parenthetical phrase to the detriment of the improbable storyline. Dreadful.

Rather than post this book, I threw it away. Save your credits.
