Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. Was a book I read during my sophomore year of high school. I found the title alluring and the length challenging so I made the decision to start this book. I give credit to the author for her attention to detail, her craft, and her intellectual skill to build such realistic characters however, I must say, you must be a human of extreme patience to tolerate a book such as this one. The book follows a family prism challenged with the grief coming from the loss of the father. The book is incredibly realistic in its telling of grief and the family portrait. Although I myself didn’t find the book enjoyable due to its hearty length, I am glad that I had the opportunity to listen to a story such as this, and with that I got to learn.
