mariemaistrop 's review for:

Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton
3.75
dark informative sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
It was a good read, but the first 200 pages were a bit too slow for me. The second half was great , even though some characters made me furious

Like Shelley and Mira being so young and impressed with Lemoine even though he’s clearly a bad man, they feel so naive. I’m happy Lemoine is dead and in my head, the real ending is that Tony got his scoop and was able to show the world who Lemoine really was


Ending is a bit rushed but I get why.
