Poor Things by Alasdair Gray
5.0
challenging funny reflective fast-paced

Just my kind of book! Layers upon layers in its construction, language and (literary and historical) references, a fine wit, with a smart woman at its center and a strong political message - laugh out loud funny and just all around amazing!
P.S.: Sadly, the movie is not just a character assassination of Bella, God and basically everyone else in the book, but also murders every nuance, perpective, message, twist and layer.
