March by Geraldine Brooks
2.0

Meh. I really found it hard to not only believe this was supposed to be Marmee and Papa March, but I found it hard to LIKE the characters in this book. I mean, he was...well, human, and I'm sure some people act like him, but he was just frustrating and such an idealist. He wasn't a bad person, but like...meh. And Marmee? She was just...vile. Only way I see fit to describe her. The last scene between her and
Spoiler Grace, and her accusation and just...omg, like, woman, stop, you're an embarrassment to everything, sorry, I feel strongly about her
was just bad.

The book wasn't badly written, and I enjoyed parts of it, even if the beginning was...less than captivating for some reason, but the plot of the story was interesting, and it was a good read, just not something I enjoyed as much as I thought I would.
