Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
by Edwin A. Abbott
challenging
funny
reflective
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
The plot doesn't start until about halfway through, and the characters barely count as characters. But it's a fun little book if you like math and/or satirical Victorian social commentary. I actually liked the first half of the book, which just describes how Flatland works, better than the second half.
