sarah984's review against another edition
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
It took me a while to get into this because the archetype of young disaffected worker most of the characters fit into isn't that interesting to me (for a lot of the book they're doing drugs ostentatiously, having bad sex or being sad - I had a similar problem with early parts of Severance) but once things became a bit more sinister at the mall I was hooked. What an ending.
