Rezension von MelZwar liest sich das Buch schnell und leicht, aber irgendwie konnte es mich leider nicht ganz überzeugen. Die Personen blieben für mich bis zum Schluss fremd und vieles war für mich Unverständlich. Aber ein Buch mit viel Raum für Interpretation, bei dem Austausch sicherlich eine große Bereicherung ist!
