3.0

I read this book for the maturita exam.

The characters are intriguing. Especially the main character. I find them to be rather complex yet not loveable or hateable. I believe it's because of the fact of how little I know about the characters.

The ordinary life of a person working at the train station during the second world war. How does the war affect him? 

I don't want to share any lines.

I like how the book ended.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this book was the same as Postřižiny. I'm glad I read it only because of the maturita exam.
