Really more like 3.5, but still enjoyable.

Mitäköhän tästä nyt sanoisi... lukeminen - tai kuunteleminen - oli kyllä sellaista pakkopullaa, että oksat pois. Tapahtumista ja juonesta on jotenkin tosi vaikea saada kiinni runomitan takia, oli pakko turvautua Wikipedian tiivistelmiin että tajusi mitä jossain kohtaa oikeasti tapahtui. Kulttuurillisesti tärkeä teos mutta ihan hirveä(n tylsä) lukukokemus.

Miesvaltaisuus ja naisten ahtaat roolit ärsytti.

the comparisons often made me laugh at how out of context they were, but that makes this book so special. it is about how diligence is an advantage.

Oväntat fascinerande läsning om allt från skapandet av de finska kustremsorna till ölbryggning, varvat med en mängd våldsamma och kreativa karaktärer och deras udda eskapader.
