ENGLISH REVIEW:
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My initial reaction upon receiving this book as a gift from a friend was quite surprising, and I must say that I was not fully aware, of what I was embarking upon, when I commenced reading it. This literary work is characterized by an abundance of plot twists, which not only captivate the reader, but also stimulate thinking.
It is important to acknowledge, that the book does incorporate explicit themes of sexuality and violence, among others. Nevertheless, if one momentarily sets aside these elements, it becomes evident, that this is indeed a remarkable piece of literature. I am sure, that this is not the last book by the author Ken Follett, that I read.
SLOVENE REVIEW:
Ocena: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Moja začetna reakcija ob prejemu te knjige kot darilo od prijatelja je bila precej presenetljiva, in moram reči, da se nisem v celoti zavedala, v kaj sem se podala, ko sem to knjigo začela brati. Knjigo zaznamuje ogromno preobratov, ki ne le očarajo bralca, temveč bralcu tudi spodbujajo razmišljanje.
Pomembno je omeniti, da knjiga med drugim vsebuje tudi eksplicitne teme spolnosti in nasilja. Vendar če za trenutek postavimo te elemente knjige na stran, postane očitno, da gre za izjemno literarno delo. Prepričana sem, da to ni zadnja knjiga avtorja Kena Folletta, ki sem jo prebrala.
