Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor
challenging

3.0
Well, when you get 21 books for your 21st birthday to read before you're 30 maybe don't leave the longest till last ... I have learnt this lesson the hard way.
It's not that the stories were bad, O'Connor is an incredibly talented writer but bloody hell it was dense. I feel like I read each individual sentence 3 times just to get any of it to stick in. Also, she may be a great writer, but dear lord the stories were racist, xenophonbic, misogynistic and downright disturbing at times. Not for me.
6.08/10 - a mean score of all my individual story scores😏
