A review by charliereadsalot
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
4.0
4 STARS
CW: implied death / murder
To be honest from the moment I started reading I was expecting something along the lines of what ends up happening. I didn't fully put it together but I was definitely expecting the Lottery not to be something positive.
This was a really impressive examination and criticism of blindly following traditions and the power of group conformity. I'll probably reread this again with the knowledge of how it ends.
