Reviewed by Linda Eine wirklich verwirrende Sache war das. Man fühlte sich wirklich in den Kopf von Max, der ständig unter Drogen stand, hineinversetzt und hat eigentlich recht wenig verstanden. Irgendwie hat es einen doch gepackt, aber einfach nur weil man den Sinn hinter allem verstehen wollte. Den Sinn hab ich dann leider doch nicht gefunden…
Reviewed by josefineIch fande es sehr anstrengend zu lesen, trotz der großartigen Sprache, die Juli Zeh benutzt. Die Geschichte hat mich gelangweilt und ich konnte keinerlei Beziehung zu den Charakteren entwickeln. Ich liebe vieles von Juli Zeh, aber das kann ich nicht empfehlen
