The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing
2.0
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Kind of boring, and underwhelming. The ending just kind of tapered off, with no real ending or resolution. Just generally a dissatisfying read. It was interesting, but I expected there to be some climax or event that came near the end, but that never really happened.
