Book: Bee Season
A couple of years back, Aaron’s sister Lisa gave me Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. I was reading something else at the time, so it went into my ‘to read’ pile and had been there ever since. A couple of weeks ago, while at the movies, I saw a preview for the film version of this story and remembered I had the book at home, unread. I dug it out, put it at the top of my queue and just finished it. It was ok. I enjoyed, and was interested in, the relationship between the brother and sister. The thing that was off for me was that each character’s issue/problem was taken to such an extreme level; it was distracting, and made the story less plausible. An interesting book nonetheless.
