A review by irvvack
Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

3.5

Okay. So this book is weird as hell BUT it’s also something I’m glad to have read. It’s kind of like the joker but for women. I liked it a lot in terms of how it made me think about myself and society. The reason I’m giving it 3.5 stars is because I don’t think I’m ever gonna re read it. At least I’m not gonna re read it any time soon. And reading it the first time around was really difficult in places. Please do check the content warnings for this book. If it’s too much for you I’d recommend Murata’s other novel Convenience Store Woman. It delivers similar themes in a more digestible way.
