Book Review : Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton
Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton (☆ ☆ ☆)
I can't figure out how to rate this book - it was such a slow burn at the beginning and then sped WAY, way up and so many things happened that I wasn't expecting. 😂
Points for being unpredictable and hitting hard with topics like environmental activism/climate crisis and problematic, god-complex billionaires. I was (am?) deeply uncomfortable with the way the book ended, but also feel like that is ultimately the point.
Genre: eco-thriller, Content Warnings for Violence and Ecological Warfare
