Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

dark mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I read this for a book club and honestly found it difficult to read. On one hand, it can be read as humorous but on the other it's really quite grim and I found a seeming lack of closer quite distressing given the trauma described from the book. Perhaps that's a reflection of my own earthling-ness!
