  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Not for the faint of heart... as both an avid reader and puzzler, who is not afraid of non-linear, this often requires note taking to keep track.  It seems like it just tries to do too much.

Yes, I realize it won the Pulitzer.  The subject perspective is a new one to me.  It was fine, but I was hoping for more.
