Book Review of The Tattooed Girl

The Tattooed Girl
mikaelashea avatar reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


I am a Joyce Carol Oates fan and love everything I've read by her, but I did not care for this book. After 130 pages and not picking the book up after two weeks, I gave up. I felt guilty for doing so, because I love JCO but I wasn't interested. I think I couldn't identify with or care about the characters. Also, by page 130, nothing had happened. A strange 38-year-old man, who I thought was an old man for the longest time, because he acts just like one, FINALLY hires an assistant.
