A review by bobbygw
Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin

challenging dark reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

The author too often lets her stories down with terribly banal endings and poorly written last paragraphs and/or sentences. 

Only five of the twenty stories are worth reading. The rest are dull, inconsequential and plodding.
