Gut erzählte Story, teils aber rasstische/homophobe/diskrimierende Sprache in der Beschreibung etwas übermäßig.

3.0

der roadtrip war schön, es gab wirklich ganze stellen und seiten, die ich am liebsten markiert hätte und ohne den haufen an diskriminierung auf jeder zweiten seite wäre das buch so viel bereichernder gewesen, aber das hier fast es ganz gut zusammen: 

„ich fand das buch nicht schlecht
ich mochte an sich, wie es geschrieben war, aber die geschichte wäre eindeutig genauso gut ausgekommen ohne die hunderttausend ableistischen, homophoben, rassistischen, fatphoben slurs und was weiß ich noch alles.
ich mochte den road trip an sich, ich mochte den tschick-reveal, auch wenn ich wirklich gerne noch erfahren hätte, wie es mit den beiden weitergeht. das ende war nicht ganz satisfying für mich, glaub ich.“ (nik)

Tatsächlich bin ich selbst überrascht, wie begeistert ich von der Geschichte bin. Meine Oma hatte mir das Buch schon geschenkt (hatte es auch selbst gelesen und für gut befunden), aber ich habe nie danach gegriffen und es sogar schließlich weggeworfen. Einige Jahre später war es ein Weihnachtsgeschenk meiner Patin, den Drang danach, den Roman zu lesen, habe ich aber nie wirklich verspürt. Jetzt hat es aber genau gepasst. Anfangs fand ich die Sprache noch etwas störend, aber ich wollte unbedingt den Verlauf des Abenteuers erfahren und meine Begeisterung ist immer mehr gestiegen. Am Schluss habe ich sogar ein paar Tränchen verdrückt.
