The Rainbow by Pearl S. Buck

emotional inspiring medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I loved the complexity of the characters in this story. The character descriptions (aka Henry's impressions/analyses of them) were intriguing and well-written. I wish I could've read this book in an AP Lit classroom and been able to analyze/explore it on that level.
