Ugh, hated this book.
It was boring with a very annoying main character and I don't think I will ever pick up another book by this author.
School made me read it and also helped me realize why I almost never read any book willingly during high school. Most of these ''Dutch literature'' books are just not my thing and bore me to death...

Niet slecht, maar toch ook niet helemaal mijn ding. De expeditie van Nederlander Alfred naar het hoge Noorden in Noorwegen om meteorieten te vinden gaat niet van een leien dakje. Hij is het enige echt uitgewerkte personage en dit boek en hoewel sommige van zijn kleine kantjes misschien herkenbaar zijn, is hij niet het meest sympathieke personage. Er gebeurt wel wat, maar er zit ook veel herhaling in dit boek. 
Ik vond het niet slecht, maar het gaf me niet meteen zin om meer te lezen van deze auteur.

Toen ik 17 was las ik Nooit meer slapen al eens, maar ik kon me er weinig meer van herinneren. Het bleek veel grappiger dan ik dacht. En arme Alfred, zo verwaand en overtuigd van zijn gelijk en tegelijkertijd zo onzeker en vol faalangst.
