- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

I rate as I go, usually and it started at around a 3.25.... it was just a bit slow at the start. It slowly just got better. Truly one of my favourite books at the moment.
Completely and utterly bizarre. Not the ending I at all anticipated. One of the weirdest families I have EVER had the uncertain pleasure to read about. Not sure the wasp factory was an apt name considering the minimal amount it was actually spoken about... but this book really surprised me in terms of how much I enjoyed it.
I was sitting there with my eyes wide open rapidly reading the last 3 chapters. It got so tense!!! So dramatic!!! So many twists and turns. Wonderful.
