4.0

Ich mochte das Buch wirklich sehr gerne. Es war wieder einmal eine Erinnerung, wie wenig eine Situation aussagen kann, wenn man die Hintergrundgeschichte nicht kennt. Es hat mich sehr emotional mitgenommen und ich wollte nicht, dass es endet. Mir ist ganz am Ende ein bisschen der Schachweltmeister untergegangen und deshalb hat es mich nicht 100% überzeugt, aber je mehr ich darüber lerne und lese, desto mehr Spaß macht es. Aber ja, es hat mich auch an sehr dunkle und schreckliche Punkte mitgenommen, die zum Nationalsozialismus zwingend dazugehören. Ich will es auf jeden Fall bald noch einmal lesen und würde es auch sehr empfehlen, vor allem mit geschichtlichem Kontext.
