Freaky Green Eyes
Joyce Carol Oates
Franky or Francesca Pierson has a take action "adult persona" that she feels growing inside her as she gets older. Frankie has a problem. And it takes the form of her father. he is infact a bully, physically and emotionally. Her parents marriage have been struggeling for a while now but when her mother suddenly goes missing Franky turns a blind eye to the whole thing hoping her mother has just run off. But freaky knows it isnt true. and Franky's going to have to be the one to stop it....
Now when the front cover said "phycological thriller" i didnt know if this book was right for me. because well i'll be honest. I'm a whimp. a big whimp. But i found once i started that i wasnt able to put it down! the story was amazing. Joyce Carol Oates does a wonderful job of portraying family violence. the story is true to the very end and Franky's narration and voice give it an edge like no other. the story is depressing at times and maybe a bit frustrating but i found the ending very satisfying.
