splitdice 's review for:

Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
3.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

a few personal takeaways from this book 
1. i really dont like satires, i dont know i guess all the ones ive read never hit the landing quite as i want to and theyre always way too long. also when you see other reviewers on here saying they hate the main character, its because she acts like every other james bond spy hero except She's A Woman so yeah people will hate her more
2. i just dont think im the audience for this book... and thats okay. a lot of things went over my head but i think i wouldve liked it more if i got the references to a lot of the french movements described in this book

that being said i actually quite enjoyed the ending and laughed out loud .......... lol
