vilhelmiina_h 's review for:
The History of Bees
by Maja Lunde
*1.5 stars
I really did not enjoy this book. I figured out pretty early on that I’d only be reading for Tao, and even her story was predictable. I really disliked George and William (the thing with the beetle and the ants was really weird). Why are all the women except Tao portrayed in such a misogynistic way? Why does everyone low-key hate their spouse? Why can’t any of these characters see that their kids aren’t extensions of themselves? Also, I found the writing style of very short sentences and lack of pronouns tedious to read. Really disappointed by this book.
