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

adventurous challenging mysterious reflective medium-paced

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

3.5

I hoped given Didion's ability to capture an entire climate by telling the story of only a handful of people that this would be much better than it was. Maybe not the best book to start with for her fiction stuff but I think I definitely prefer her more journalistic work.
