The Overstory by Richard Powers

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 78%.
it started very fun and interesting and then i was like 40% in and thinking "there's more than half left? jesus fucking christ". ultimately pretty prose but um. yeah. too much too long doesn't talk enough about The Roots Of The Issues but instead there is a girl who got actual brain damage who is treated like a messiah whos delusions are encouraged. because it makes for a better narrative about deforestation than idk Anything Else dawg
