vani_sh 's review for:

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
3.5
dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The book really picks up on the third part. The first two parts are slow and often consist of characters having similar circular conversations with each other. I liked the concept and the world this book builds. The tense final act really makes up for the sluggish first two. 

There were times where I felt the characters were unemotional or unconcerned about things that should have bothered them more. But I can forgive it since the plot would not progress of the characters were more concerned about their dire circumstances.
