Rezension von Anna ViktoriaDuring the first pages I couldn't stand the writing of the novel, it felt vulgar and aggressive to me. I thought it might have been due to the German translation, but I was wrong. This story needs to be told in an aggressive and -in your face- way. It is about gender roles, discrimination of women, sexualisation of the female body, (internalized) mysogny, stereotypes, (sexual) abuse and the oppression of women. At first I thought this story had nothing to do with me. A pretty woman moving from NY to LA, how can this be relatable? I was wrong again. I could relate to Joan's struggles and feelings so much, her past, the abuse, seeing other women succeed as the enemy. This book is peak feminist literature. It blew my mind and think everybody should read it!
Rezension von Lena SchalentierI support women‘s wrongs.
Rezension von CharVerstörend, düster, Abgründe des Menschen. Eine online Rezension sprach von “Tarantino als Buch” und das trifft es gut. Ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Joan’s Leben im heißen orangenen Canyon, dieses Haus umringt von Coyoten bei Nacht, in der Umgebung ein Panoptikum aus seltsamen Figuren. Joan’s Geschichte ist krass und nimmt mit. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen. Auch dass es in Southern California spielt mochte ich sehr.
