  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

this is one of those books that have a hold on you and that you think about for a long time.

what does it mean to be human?
how does a person develop if there are no societal norms and no men around?

definitely a must-read!
I will have to buy a physical copy and annotate the sh*t out of it and re-read it and be as dumbfounded as I was the first time reading this masterpiece.
