Read this book, The Bees by Laline Paull, her debut novel, for its originality, for the obvious and extremely interesting research she did on bees and their societal ways, their physical structure and biology and even their sexuality, but not necessarily for its plot and story telling. That's not to say the story was not compelling, it was, but only up to a point. It could have been a lot shorter, like 100 pages shorter. By the time the reader reaches the denouement, they have already guessed it or don't so much care anymore.I liked how the author wrote, including the vocabulary she used. Expiation, craven, stentorian, blebs of blood, propolis, obstreperous and calipers were just some of the words that caught my attention and interest. I very much enjoyed the descriptive language (e. g. " Morning light leaked over the ridge. The leaves turned from cool silver to glowing green and a warm, woody fragrance rose through the bark of the trees"), and I appreciated the allusions to a totalitarian society ("Accept, Obey, and Serve", the "hive mind") dogged with ultra-religious devotion ("our mother who art in labor - hallowed be thy womb - thy marriage done - thy queendom come - from death comes life eternal"), the male domination and female submission (as when the female bees refer to the oversexed drones as " your maleness" who speak of their "dronewood getting hard as the twig" and chanting to the females, "congregation, copulation, coronation".Despite the rigid caste system of the bees and a conformity that discourages all forms of individuality, the protagonist, Flora 717, born into the lowest caste, the sanitation workers, finds ways to break out of it and even breaks the rules, while remaining true to her fellow sister bees and the hive. Early on I found myself questioning how much of this is truly bee behavior, yet, as the book progressed, I cared more about Flora as a character than the reality of bee behavior. At times, however, the anthropomorphism does become a bit much. For example, "the way the babies started wriggling and laughing in excitement at the delicious food smells". On the other hand, I rather enjoyed the description of "lifting him into her arms and he opened his mouth. Her cheeks pulsed in relief as the shining Flow poured out". After all, what woman who has once been a nursing mother, would not?I liked this book a lot. I think if the story line had been tighter with a more defined plot and it had been written in fewer pages, I might have loved it. One thing is certain, I will never look at bees the same way again!
Apologies for the alphabetical list of adjectives but it aptly represents my journey through this book. As I started The Bees, for the first several chapters I honestly didn't know what I thought or felt about it. It was just so--strange. Other-worldly. The tone of the book felt--for lack of a better word--aloof. I didn't know how I was supposed to identify with this character--Flora--who has all kinds of special powers and yet is on the lowest-of-the/low rung of society. Flora is extremely limited by her "caste" yet has the drive and wits to break out of her caste. And just when I would start thinking, "you go, girl!" she would revert to the groupthink of her society and I'd be irritated--until her next round of limit-testing. Oh and the kicker-- did I mention Flora is a bee?!So between the bee-ness of the protagonist (and we aren't talking about a cute, fuzzy-bunny, type bee here), and the hard-to-picture complex communication and religious systems of the hive, this was not one of those "dive right in and keep on going" kind of books. And yet. I kept reading, and kept reading and really couldn't put it down (my Kindle, that is, since I got the Kindle version).Halfway in, I STILL wasn't sure, really, if I actually liked the book. Until I started to describing it to my mom. I told her about this bizarre dystopian novel I had started, one that starred a female protagonist who is able to slip between the boundaries of her caste-system -like society. I told her about the tension between the society's religion (in which a Queen figure takes the place of the Judeo-Christian God) and the repressive collective thinking required within this society. I went on and on about how the main character Flora flouts the rules and has experiences she never would have been allowed to have, etc etc...and then I dropped the "bombshell"--"all of this is happening to a BEE."This was the point in my meta-story (telling the story of the story 😉) that I realized that this book, actually, is GREAT. Yes, it's strange. And at times extremely graphic and violent and even quite disgusting. But it is utterly compelling and absorbing and suspenseful. It is unique. It somehow anthropomorphizes a bee and her fellow hive-sisters and brothers in a way that brings you into this completely foreign world but never feels cutesy, childish, or "Disney-ish". There's just enough "human" here to allow us to feel connected and invested in the characters--yet plenty to leave you with the feeling that you are privy to an alien species' most intimate moments. To put it simply-- if I can find myself rooting for a bee (and--full disclosure--I kind of hate and am scared of bees), then the author is doing something very special and different here.In short, this book is one that will, I suspect, stay with me for a long time to come. I find myself wondering what in the world Ms. Paull will come up with (and out with) next while simultaneously thinking -- can she possibly top this?!So if you are looking for something new and very different to read, treat yourself to this book--you will, I think, be very glad you did.
This book was quite a surprise! It was a novel about bees! It was life in the hive. Flora 717 was born into one of the lower castes of bees, a sanitation worker. It is her story throughout the book as she meets priestesses, drones, the Queen, the fertility police, and treacherous spiders. This is a world where only the Queen can breed, deformity means death, and the mantra inside the hive is accept, obey, and serve. I was unaware that this was originally written as a YA dystopian novel. I would certainly never describe it as YA or dystopian; I would classify it as as an adult sci/fantasy. This book was wildly imaginative. I would describe it as Animal Farm on steroids. I would think some of the parallels would be too complex for most young adults (teens). This is the ultimate world building novel. Had I known it was actually ABOUT bees, I probably would not have purchased the book, but I'm glad I did. It's refreshing to read outside ones genre comfort. 5 stars for creativity, 3 stars for readability.
