Reviewed by Jay734Ein sehr guter Anfang, nach dem drittem Kapitel spielt sich so gut wie alles leider jedoch in einem Zimmer ab und wird bis zum Ende ein zähes Leseerlebnis mit vielen Interessanten Themen - leider mit fehlender Exposition
Reviewed by Dani Dieses Buch hat einen so intensiven Schreibstil, der einen dazu verführt alles beschriebene vollkommen zu fühlen. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Sprache ziemlich anspruchsvoll und sollte nur von denjenigen gelesen werden, die der englischen Sprache mächtig sind. Ich gehöre leider nicht dazu.
