fxp's review against another edition
3.0
Interessante Einleitung, spannender Plot, mit überraschender Wendung. Allerdings fand ich das Ende etwas "gehetzt", es kam mir vor als ob dem Autor die Seiten ausgingen und er die verschiedenen Handlungsstränge schnell zuende bringen wollte. Auch die Personen sind allesamt karikaturesk überzeichnet. Insgesamt habe ich es jedoch gern gelesen. Die klare Sprache erinnerte mich stark an Martin Suter und Maarten t'Haart.

Loved it the first time around. Haven't read it since though, since I only read English books now. But it was one of my favourites when I was younger.

Het hele idee dat God een personage is dat blijft terugkomen en eigenlijk er altijd is, nederig is en veel voor je over heeft, vind ik vet. Hoe de rest van zijn leven een beetje vaag uiteengezet wordt, vind ik ook wat hebben doordat het wel een periode van rouw is waar hij doorheen gaat, maar het maakt het boek niet interessanter.
Hoe de rouw is beschreven vind ik wel echt goed, en de vlotheid in het boek ook

I cut this one off early. Every character is an awful fantasy. I hate that the father spends so much time thinking about how hot his daughter is. Not into the irresistible sexy ex wife who inexplicably trades her wild free love lifestyle for this shy boring man, or how the only thing he likes about her is how sex-able she is.
I really really hate that the black man is described as a "bull" with a "wide, predator-like lower jaw", and that he sells his gym and gives his life to the sad white man and calls him sir.
I don't think the author is going to come through with anything insightful on race or colonialism or how women can be anything other than sexy or tragic, so I'm done.
PS I flipped to the end and it looks like this book gets extremely weird.
