Cockroach by Rawi Hage
2.25
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well written. The overall theme touches on some pretty heavy topics and intentionally uses a rougher presentation of them to dig into the reader.  Not the typical way you may want to hear about something but that's probably the point. The main character's inner monologue at times reminded me of the catcher in the rye.
