Storyline great, Writing not a fan of. Very flowery,almost poetic, definitely not my favorite.

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Joyce Carol Oates continues to impress with both the wide range of writing she offers, and her insight into the human condition. Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. is yet another powerful work that gives Oates the opportunity to explore the heart and show us motivation, alongside complication. Such is life. Highly recommended.
