A review by hschubert
The Last Thing He Wanted by Joan Didion

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

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

4.0

Glad to have read this classic though I wish I knew more about the political narrative it covers. The real involvement of the US in Nicaragua etc. tragic, but expendable was the point.
