danadou 's review for:

The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
2.0

Not quite crap, but so undeserving of the multiple 5 star reviews. Donaghue took on too much for one book, and she did each poorly. The treatment of the Irish by the English, the patriarchy, the Catholic Church, and things I shouldn't say because they'd be spoilers. Towards the book's end, I felt like I was reading the script for a crappy LifeTime movie, and not the fun Christmas ones. Just ugh.
