  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? N/A
  • Loveable characters? No

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

3.0

Although this book moved slow it was an interesting read, especially given the time it was written. Gilman writes the man's perspective very well and it was very interesting to see that even though this book is old many of the same thoughts, ideas and treatment of women are the same. I read this book for book club (along with MANHUNT) and I am excited to see what other book club members think of both of them together.
