Hade gett högre betyg om inte för den första tredjedelen av boken som var extremt jobbig att läsa (vilket också är hela meningen men men). Den känns också som att den simplifierar den komplexa sak som är människan på ett sätt som jag inte älskade. Annars: intressant historia, gillar språket som ger stämning (när man väl kom in i den, i början var det asjobbigt att läsa) och ger en en tankeställare kring kriminalpolitik (ish?). Skulle rekommendera, men inte om man är känslig för äckliga saker.

this may be common knowledge - and it’s mentioned briefly in the book itself - but so many slang terms in this book resemble slavic vocabulary - to read this in english as someone whose native language is indeed slavic (serbian) was absolutely absurd? 

for example:
(in the book = serbian = english)
zvook = zvuk = sound
prestoopnik = prestupnik = one who disobeys [laws]
droog = drug = friend
litso = lice = face 
rooker = ruka = arm
gulliver = glava = head
goloss = glas = voice
malenky = malo = a little 
govoreeting = govoriti = to speak 
NOGA = NOGA = LEG

and many many more examples -truly fascinating stuff that was

otherwise what has to be happening in one’s mind to write such a book?

as for content warnings - literally anything you could think of, it’s only 140 pages but my god is it a dark  book.
