2.0

The story began extremely promising and I loved reading about all of the main characters stories and motives, but some parts were extremely weird and irritating (yes I’m mainly referring to the author’s self-insert in the story) + maybe it’s just me but

Veronika surviving was disappointing and more predictable than her dying

Stomak mi se prevrnuo od čitanja ove knjige i to ne zato što je bila gnusna, nego zato što je tako istinita. Sve je postalo još teže kad sam saznala razlog iza trenutka u kome Veroniku naziva svojom prijateljicom.

Sve vreme dok sam čitala razmišljala sam o dve stvari: "da li je ova knjiga za mene?" i "šta je to ludost?". Nije mi bilo svejedno da je čitam, a s druge strane sam zavolela likove iz knjige najviše jer sam mogla duboko da ih razumem.

Ova knjiga bu mogla da spada u horor realnosti u koji smo kao čovečanstvo zapali. I zato ne bih mogla bilo kome da je preporučim. Ono u šta sam sigurna je da je kniiga teška i da vuče na razmišljanje. I da je vredi pročitati, u svoje vreme.

Volela bih da sam maj započela malo vedrijom temom, ali definitivno mi je drago što sam ovu knjigu pročitala jer je u suprtonom ne bih uzela.

Questa lettura è stata davvero bella e di ispirazione, penso che mi porterò con me questi personaggi per molto tempo anche futuro, insieme agli insegnamenti che ognuno di loro mi ha dato.
