bella613 's review for:

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
2.75
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This seems like a book I would like but I found myself waiting for the audiobook to just be done. I was immensely relieved when it was over.
Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if the main character wasn't such a terrible person. 

I was pretty tired listening to this and maybe if I had tried reading the physical book I would have been more into it. It's like slice-of-life except the slice is actually the entire thing. And the life in question is one of a guy who sees women as less than human and does stuff like drugging his entire family so they'll bother him less. 

I was VERY concerned that they were gonna eat a baby at one point but thankfully that did not happen.
