Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
This novel is a classic. I could have done without the racism
early on in the book and the ableism throughout, but the book is over 100 years old so I go into books of that age knowing I will encounter those themes.
It’s beautifully written, and I like the aspects of the effect of positive thinking. The audiobook is absolutely beautifully done. The recording is beautiful and the narrator is incredible. 4.75 out of 5.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Ableism, Racism
