- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Yeah, this is still my Bible.
Upon re-reading, this is book is oddly more minimalistic than I remembered. But I think its simplicity is its strength as a manifesto. It's time to stop deeming texts like these as weirdly prophetic and recogize that we know exactly what we're doing wrong and always have.
Here's to 13 more years of never being able to shut up about this book.
