Had to read it for school
( 10. Grade German Gymnasium )
Kind of really loved it because of the writing style and the descriptions and how the author explains the mind of the main character.
Some scenes were just absolutely crazy but I also liked that + it added to the whole “vibe” of the book which is mostly just Person with the best nose and memory but fucked up in the brain because of childhood trauma.
Idk if this explains it very well.
