The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara
challenging
dark
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
Did I like this book? I don’t think so.
Would I recommend this book? Yes, with the caveat of certain triggers/content.
The start of the book was hard, at first I didn’t think I wanted to read about this horrible man, but the writing is at times beautiful and compelling. Also at the end, I skimmed some passages as I just wanted the book to end and not be in the head of the narrator
