4.5 probably, a tiny bit of sagging middle syndrome, but an excellent exploration of human behaviour, of power and resistance and the question of what is right and wrong and what makes one happy and what we'd do for ourselves or the people we love

Que história de amor incrível, que escrita fabulosa, completamente poético. Só me apetece ler e reler este livro.

An interesting story with a setting I was not familiar with. It held a lot of promise but I feel like the begging and end are the best parts. The middle of the book kinda of just exists and is not very memorable.

After 2 pages I already knew that I‘m gonna love this book. Tomasz Jedrowski‘s writing is so pure and honest. I literally inhaled this book.

Very good, but didn't leave a lasting impression - probably not the book's fault, but rather dependant on the period of my life that I read it in
