The Wild Zone: Book summary and reviews of The Wild Zone by Joy Fielding

The Wild Zone Summary

This is how it starts. With a joke.

Two brothers -- Will and Jeff -- and their friend Tom are out one night at their favorite South Beach bar, the Wild Zone, and decide to make a bet on who can be the first to seduce a mysterious-looking young woman drinking by herself. Pretty, dark-haired, blue-eyed Suzy has an innocent, almost ordinary girl-next-door way about her. "Just waiting for Prince Charming to hit on her," Jeff says.

Little do they know the secrets she hides from the outside world, particularly those having to do with the daily horror she experiences under the watchful eye of her abusive husband. Little do they know she has an agenda of her own. Little do they know their harmless bet is about to take on a life of its own, a life full of deadly consequences for all concerned. There's certainly no going back once you've entered The Wild Zone.

Oookaaayy....
I cannot believe Joy Fielding could write such a low level entertainment story where the reader guesses right from the very first pages 'till the unsurprising end. I read and liked all of her previous books but this one. Found myself yawning more than once throughout the reading and was increasingly unhappy with the plot - or absence of.
I am glad I borrowed this book from my local public library instead of buying it, because it is honestly not worth a single penny.. But anyway, this is just my humble opinion, so take it for what is worth. Serena.
