The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
3.75
mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Was a difficult read in the sense of reading in the point of view as a Englishperson speaking about Irish people. Gross stereotypes echoed throughout which was the point I supposed. I just could not turn off the disgust I had for the protagonist.
I believe the ending was a bit rushed. A lot of fluff in the beginning which I believe could have been cut to build up the finale.
