Book Review of Paint It Black

Paint It Black
Paint It Black
Author: Janet Fitch
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 5


I expected a lot from 'Paint it Black' based on Finch's first novel, 'White Oleander', but I was disappointed with not only the content but also the style. While White Oleander was rich in themes and artistic elements, I found Paint it Black very shallow in comparison. However, as far as alluding to detailed images, and promoting participation on the readers behalf in creating those images, this book is successful.
