Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates
4.0

The writing style of this book is just as erratic and mad as the main racist sexual psychopath serial killer character. The privilege of this man failed all his victims. For what this book is, I would give it 5 stars, but as a black person reading this and the racist, yet probably maybe true statements spoken of, and the use of the “n****r” word a couple times, I will give it a 4. Definitely a unique book.

I got this book through my local library; however, why is this book $79 (through Amazon)?! Book is 181 pages with lots of simple black/white illustrations and a lot of spaces from one chapter to the next. Not paying for words for sure.
