A review by hadleynicole
The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

2.0

Extremely long, meandering, drawn out, focusing almost entire on various traumas (abusive father, rape, physical bullying and beatings, etc) and never does get to some sort of resolution or strong tie together, etc.
