Black Water


Book: Black Water
Author: Joyce Carol Oates
Pages: 154
Series: none

Who: Elizabeth “Kelly” Kelleher, The Senator, Buffy, Mom & Dad
What:  Seeing Kelly’s day and the accident.
Where: Buffy’s house and the swamp waters.
When: The Fourth of July
Why: Kelly plans to spend the week with Buffy & has fallen for the Senator.
How: The crash happens because The Senator decides to drink and drive.

Kelly’s story is one like any young girl who meets a famous person. They want to be with them, would be willing to be the cause of an affair because they are in love. Kelly has been a good girl up until this recent Fourth of July.  Throughout this short novel you see how Kelly spent this day, a few from her past and if she regrets anything she’s done up until this point.


My opinion:
The book was confusing. It would go from her history to her current situation in the same chapter. Heck, one paragraph to the next it would change. I didn’t really enjoy the book. I don’t recommend anyone reading it.
