nadia 's review for:

The Anatomy of Desire by L.R. Dorn
3.5
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is perfect for audio! This is coming from somebody who's fairly new to audiobooks and didn't think they were for me. If you love true crime, podcasts, documentaries, etc., and want to read this book, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to listen to it if you have the option to! For one, there's a full cast consisting of fourteen narrators.

That being said, given the awesome setup/structure, the quality of the story just didn't match. It ended up feeling bland and the characters themselves felt mostly as if they were walking clichés/stereotypes. I was left feeling a little like: What was the point of this story being told? What was I meant to take away from it? 

Still, it sustained my interest. That, combined with the stellar audiobook concept, wins the book points!
