18 booksMagical realism is a genre I love and I dont see enough people talking about it. Lets create our small space here!
You are supposed to give ratings to the book, the writing, how well it's written etc. Not rate how much you ālikeā a character! All the bad reviews are basically because the MC is such a dislikable, piece of shit. All the one star ratings pretty much tell me, the author did his job. He wrote a misogynistic, narcissist....and apparently wrote him well!
You aren't meant to like the MC. You are meant to see how someone like this behaves and why. What they can do to people, and why.
I think this book was well written for what it is supposed to be.
If we are to like every character we read , that makes for some boring reading , in my opinion.
