Reviewed by Ellajust one word: confusion
Reviewed by LenaWAHNSINN ! ❤️ 'The Ending' habe ich am Montag auf der Münchner Bücherschau entdeckt und war direkt gefesselt vom Cover und der allgemeinen Gestaltung des Buches. Es ist ein broschiertes Buch mit nur 247 Seiten, also ziemlich dünn und demnach eigentlich auch schnell lesbar. Allerdings.. und jetzt kommt der absolute Toppunkt: Es ist ein wahnsinniges Literaturwerk ! So was hab ich noch nie zuvor gelesen - an manchen Stellen hat es mich sogar an meine eigenen Texte erinnert - ein Psychothriller der besonderen Art ✨ Ich musste mich demnach sehr konzentrieren und bin auch oft in Gedanken versunken als es um Psychologie und Philosophie ging. Zum Inhalt möchte ich nicht viel sagen, da ich finde dass man dieses Buch einfach aufschlagen sollte und an einem Tag verschlingen sollte. Ich habe es abends begonnen und morgens beendet! Ich bin wahnsinnig gespannt auf das nächste Meisterwerk des Autors & habe diesem Buch einen Ehrenplatz in meinem Regal gegeben ! Es hat definitiv 5 oder sogar mehr Sterne verdient ❤️
