Our Hideous Progeny

C.E. McGill

4.04 AVERAGE

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

modern "feminist" lit authors are so scared to actually be feminist that mcgill is dworkin in comparison. 

mary was a great character to follow; i think the author did a fine job of portraying her as radical for the time period without just being a mouthpiece. 

i was still annoyed by the way the book fell into the common trope of having to have that one token Minority Good Man -- especially because the author was too afraid to acknowledge the obvious privilege said man had over mary.

DID NOT FINISH: 16%

I'm almost 20 percent in and I'm just not sucked in. The main character is bland and I don't like her husband at all.
