mlejoy 's review for:

The Bees by Laline Paull
2.0

I didn't really care for it. I found the story boring and slow, the ending utterly predictable. I hated the "Queen's prayer" - "Our Mother, who art in labor, hallowed be thy womb..." Seriously.. how ridiculous is that? Plus there were all the really annoying sexual/penis references by the male drones ("my dronewood is hard as a twig") - it was just super cheesy and laughable. I really wanted to like this one, but it's just not my thing. On the plus side, I feel like I learned a lot about honeybees.
