The Bee Sting
by Paul Murray
dark
funny
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This was a lot to chew on, and I feel like it could have been a good bit shorter and still made all the points it needed to. That said, I loved how the secondary characters came back into the story at different points. It's an impressive feat to create a plot which circles back again and again, especially from the perspectives of not one, not two, but four main characters.
