deratu 's review for:
The History of Bees
by Maja Lunde
Liked the bees but not much else
What I liked:
What I learned about bees, their life-cycle and how humans have made them part of our intense system of food production.
The story alternating between the three main protagonists set in their different times.
What I didn't like:
Just not "real".
Many overwrought passages.
No plausible reason for characters in the story not seeing what was plainly in front of them.
Adults behaving in a childlike manner, contrasting incongruously with their wise, stoic children.
Many trite passages.
Just too predictable.
