I Went to See My Father by Kyung-sook Shin

reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

This book was really slow and hard to get through at some points. Usually, I enjoy books that focus on the character and nothing really happens plot-wise. But this was different, it felt very plain. Also, I'm not sure, but I do think the translation was a part of that. There were parts that I was interested in, but I think the way it was written/translated kind of made it blah. Not terrible, but not my cup of tea.
