4.0

"Wegetarianka" jest w pełni zrealizowaną wizją artystyczną autorki. Sumiennie dawkowane informacje sprawiają, że im bliżej końca tym lepiej prezentuje się rys psychiczny bohaterki tytułowej, pozwala umieścić wszystkie puzzle w układance. Przed lekturą radzę zapoznać się z listą tematów możliwie ciężkich.
