The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector
3.75
dark reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Lispector has an interesting style of writing which pervades the book. It’s a chaotic continuous style with deep insights and humorous dialogue, yet able to a create tension at the end. Regardless, I found the beginning a bit slow and every page a bit too hard hitting. I’m interested to read more ny Lispector but am unable to give this book more than 3.75 stars.
