angelicat's review

So unnecessarily long. Very repetitive. Badly written dialog. Insufferable characters. Overall terribly classist premise that is never adequately addressed, at least not within the first 6 hours of the audiobook. Racism against Mexicans, including the slur

spic

. A sexual assault scene that is framed as the aggressor “taking what’s his” and results in the victim giving in, enjoying it, and realizing that she sees herself as his property.

marionhoney's review against another edition

adventurous challenging dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The writing is beautiful but the objectivism philosophy is laid on too heavy handed that often getting through character speeches becomes a slog.
