Oroonoko: Or, The Royal Slave, A True Story by Aphra Behn
1.5
Between its tedious racism, jarringly violent ending, and (to put it mildly) implausible plot Oroonoko is a novel I was never going to like. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be as weird and racist as it was but I'm not surprised at my distaste.
