A review by keitto
Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis

funny reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

My mom told me this book "cracked [her] up" when she read it about ten years ago, so I was looking forward to a funny story. Not so funny! I did like some of the pearls of wisdom that Zorba shared, but maaaan the way women are treated in this story is dated and frankly the main issue that I have with the book. I'm not going to go into detail, but it gets DARK. So, I liked the story OK overall, but it felt dated.
