Jag har länge velat lösa just denna bok men varit för rädd för att läsa den. Men i november förra året bestämde jag mig för att göra det.
Boken hoppa i tid mellan en grupp barn och dem som vuxna. Det var lite svårt att hela tiden hänga med i både karaktärs byten men också tids byten.
Boken är skriven för ett tag sedan och det märks, den är problematisk på många sätt! Hade därför svårt att läsa i den då jag blev både arg men framförallt obekväm.
Boken har ungefär fem kvinnliga karaktärer som har namn och är med ett flertal gånger. Dess kvinnor är ofta sexualiserade och förminskade. Vilket jag tyckte var synd då framför allt Beverly som en av huvudrollerna hade kunnat få lysa lite!
Skulle inte rekommendera boken, den är väldigt lång med flera sidor om historiska saker som är beskrivna i minsta detalj. Jag är glad att jag läste klart den och slipper bära runt på den tegelstenen!
Den var inte så läskig som jag trodde framförallt i slutet utan mer obehagligt i stunder som ledde upp till det!
Kommer nog tyvärr inte mössa så långa böcker på ett tag, men är glad att det är gjort!

inizialmente è come se non avessi bene realizzato quello che avevo appena letto, ma poco dopo è arrivata una vera e propria mazzata emotiva al cuore.

Beverly, a young girl, is descriped sexually multiple times throughout the book. Every male character wants to have Sex with her.
