dark emotional sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

An emotional and evocative look at the American invasion of Iraq, even if I think the metaphors were a bit clunky at times and I am not entirely sure if I think they all completely land. The ending few pages do pack quite the punch though.

Kind of needlessly sexist and sexual. Feels like something that tries to be deep but misses the mark.
