A review by karinreadsbooks
The Trees by Percival Everett

challenging dark funny mysterious reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I read this for a book club, and it certainly gave us a lot to discuss. It's a remarkably funny book for a novel that deals with
racial violence
, and there were some very compelling characters in there, but I certainly could do without the fatphobia that creeps in regularly.
