elsewhere5 's review for:
Birnam Wood
by Eleanor Catton
The first half of this book was pretty slow, each character’s section felt dragged out and longer than it should have been. Then Darvish gets run over by the car and suddenly we have chases and murder all over the place which was at least much more interesting to read. The ending was very dark and depressing though (also quite rushed), I don’t mind some darkness but prefer shades of grey rather than full out massacre. I did very much enjoy the characterisation though.
