Reviewed by Raphaela Abgebrochen. Die Story klingt toll, aber ich ertrage den Schreibstil nicht. Vielleicht liegt es an der Übersetzung, aber Wortwahl, Satzbau und Dialoge klingen wie aus einem schlechten Teenie Roman und nicht als würde man eine erwachsene Frau durch einen SciFi Thriller begleiten.
Reviewed by GabrieleLots of good ideas, almost all of which were not translated into a satisfying narrative structure. It felt to me while reading as if someone was constantly holding a piece of cake in front of my nose so that I got an appetite, and then the cake was thrown away before my eyes. I wish the book had been more exciting and I would have enjoyed it more.
