lumenmews 's review for:

The Wall by Marlen Haushofer
2.25
reflective relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The first 20 pages had me fully engaged and excited. The next 200 pages were a slog. She could have shaved 100 pages off the repetitious farming activities and still conveyed the reflections she sought to.
