The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara
1.0
I would recommend NOT reading this book. It has no point, many bad and terrible things happen, there are no likable characters. The book jacket gives away almost the entire plot. At 54% the narrator develops a theory that the turtles are causing longevity, this is given away on the jacket.
The book is not about longevity, it is a little about conquering a new people, mostly about things you won't want to read about.
There are about 100 footnotes, I read the first few and didn't care to read more, so I stopped, and then I thought if I'm not reading the footnotes, why am I reading the book itself? A thought I had many times as I was reading.
When I finished the book I was frustrated and upset. If I had been reading a paper copy instead of my Kindle I would have thrown the book across the room.
