mlinder18 's review for:

Before the Fall by Noah Hawley
1.0
dark sad 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

Rich/entitled white men throw fits when things don't go their way. What was the point of this book? This story didn't need to be told. It started strong and then the flashbacks to people who are all dead and added nothing to the story seemed pointless. Then the last 3-5 chapters picked up again. I hated this. So many sexist, misogynistic men. Even the main character, although the author tried to paint in a positive light, came off pretentious and privileged. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
