I highlighted and annotated it this time and hnnngh it's still so good.
2nd time reading:
I still stand by my point that I don't know what exactly it is about this book that makes it such a fantastic experience to read, but it is so good!
I still adore the storytelling, as this book alternates between the perspectives of the twins Noah and Judeando between different points in time. What sounds confusing actually isn't and it gives the story almost a mystery aspect as the two storylines begin to tie closer and closer together and you begin to understand everything that happened.
I still love Noah so much but I've also grown to like Jude more. Both of them are very complex characters and you feel the constant tension between them.
An absolute recommendation!
1st time reading (German):
Dieses Buch ist definitiv eins der besten Bücher, die ich dieses Jahr gelesen habe.
Ich weiß eigentlich nicht genau, was mich an der Geschichte so gefesselt hat. Ein interessantes Element ist auf jeden Fall, dass Jude in der 17-jährigen Gegenwart erzählt und Noah aus der 13 1/2-jährigen Vergangenheit. Dadurch setzen sich die Hintergründe nach und nach zusammen und man hat außerdem sehr unterschiedliche Erzählperspektiven.
Ich liebe "Noahs" Schreibstil so sehr, obwohl man komplett von sprachlichen Bildern überrannt wird. Aber das ist wahrscheinlich gerade das, was ich so toll fand.
Ich habe erst eine Weile gebraucht um mich mit Jude anzufreunden, da sie am Anfang wirklich unsympathisch rüberkommt, aber das legt sich aber mit der Zeit, da man sie besser kennenlernt.
Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch genau über dieses Buch sagen soll, außer, dass ich es wirklich sehr empfehlen kann.
