selfiegrandpa 's review for:

The Vegetarian by Han Kang
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I won't rate this because it doesn't feel right to. I didn't connect with this book at all and I actually really found it a chore to get through despite it being so short. I don't know if this because it's one of those "right books, wrong time" deal-ios, but I think I would like to revisit again in a few years.

Overall, I think I have an understanding of the choices made throughout this book. Mainly the choose to write from the perspective of the people in the character's life instead of from the main character herself. I can see why many people love this book and why it has resonated with them.
