blewballoon 's review for:

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
3.0
dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There was so much content here I didn't like, and most of the characters were either really awful, kind of awful, or a stereotype. I actually think the movie made some great changes while remaining a faithful adaptation, and I think I would have had a more positive take on the story if I had only watched that. I can see why this is popular, and I think the parts about the marsh and the wildlife are really nice, but for me it ticked a lot of my "hate this" boxes.
