A review by sianjkh
Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

challenging dark medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

i feel genuinely queasy. I had heard that Murata's other novel was dark but Jesus fucking Christ. I finished the book out of spite that i had paid $25 for it, and because although every single topic in the book is atrocious the writing is gorgeous. god is not merciful and me reading the teacher scene in my school library is proof.
