The Beginning Place by Ursula K. Le Guin

  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Like so many others, I was disappointed by the very slow build up to a single-sentence climax. The last chapter reads like LeGuin woke up late to turn in this essay and finished it on the bus.
