The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

WOW. 

I saw that ending coming but it still hit like a dumpster truck. A tour de force. Almost fantasy-esque in how Paul Murray builds the world, the mythology (the bee sting, the accident), and also the length lol.
