dark emotional reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

It's definitely not an easy book to read but an important one. Morrisons language is stunning and has so many layers. There are a lot of dark scenes and topics, and some parts are difficult to read. I needed to take a lot of breaks while reading it. But it's such an important work in the literary canon, and for a reason.
