chantaal 's review for:

The Bees by Laline Paull
3.0

I created a shelf just for this, because it's tough to really describe and review this book. I mean, it's literally about bees. It's a book with all the hallmarks of a dystopian novel, but IT'S ABOUT BEES. It's so different from anything I've read, simply because of the fact that it's about bees, that it's tough to review.

Ashley made a pretty good attempt at reviewing this, and much better than mine.

(I can say that if this were a novel about humans, I would have very early given up at how special a Mary Sue Flora is. But I was so fascinated by the fact that IT IS ABOUT BEES that I couldn't do anything but keep reading.)
