Rezension von Eileen Dierner Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. While I found the first half quite boring, I also couldn't find a connection to the main character or other characters. It basically did not matter to me who won and who lost. <br/><br/>The characters in itself were not very well fleshed out, and close relationships were not built up slowly, they just... happened. Like, one day A and B are strangers, and the next they would die for each other, or call each other brother and sister, or father and daugter. Very weird, that was a bit too fast for me.<br/><br/>The last point I would like to mention is the love story. It's okay that I did not feel any chemistry, since not all love stories are for everyone. BUT! Isn't it weird that a man falls in love with a woman eight years younger than him, a woman which he watched growing up since she was ten (so he was 18)? Idk, but that was a bit too much for me.
Rezension von vita wirtThe story was okay, but not the most exciting one. I really had a problem with the romance subplot as he watched her grow up from 10 to 18 while being 8 years older.
Rezension von Ein wirklich sehr interessante Geschichte und toller Schreibstil.
