i do feel like the book got a bit lost around the halfway point and felt disconnected, which may have been on purpose. however, i thought this was great and some passages i will be thinking about for a long time

An interesting and thought-provoking story which has you questioning what’s happening and what’s not happening (and what’s already happened) as much as the ‘unnamed narrator’.

Found the book too choppy and changing and wasn’t exactly what I was expecting

В началото на годината знаех, че искам да прочета тази книга, но не исках да се запозная с литературата на Господинов с новия му популярен роман. За това реших да прочета първо "Физика на тъгата". Това може би беше грешка, защото, да, харесах книгата, но беше странна и ако не бях твърдо решена да прочета и "Времеубежище" сигурно нямаше да си я взема. Следователно нямах огромни очаквания от книгата. За финал и приятелите ми не бяха останали изключително впечатлени от "Времеубежище" и вече бях притеснена, че и на мен няма да ми хареса.
Точно обратното, това беше най-добрата и интересната книга, която прочетох тази година. Концепта беше наистина интересен. Хареса ми, че започне във Виена. Трета и четвърта част са ми любимите. И за първи път в живота си исках да пиша и да подчертавам в книгата си. Исках да дискутирам книгата дори с хора, които още не са я прочели, защото дава толкова много храна за размисъл. Ако можех щях да дам повече от пет звезди. Наистина заслужена е и наградата, която спечели през май, и успеха.
Такива романи ме карат да се гордея, че съм българка.

I really hate giving up on books and I tried so hard but it was really tough going and not bringing me joy
