I wonder why only the minority mentions the perverted parts of this book. Yes obv this book is also part about rape, but tell me then - why are the rape scenes written more beautiful than the actual consensual acts??? Also the mention of his dick size several times gave me such alpha male author vibes. I loved the writing style in the beginning because it reminded me of the little princess book, but this one got worse with time. almost screams murakami I can’t believe a woman wrote this. 

Pierrot and Rose have no chemistry as well. They seem like twins(?) almost. I tried to find anything were we could see an actual connection and mutual understanding that wasn’t written direct and painfully obvious. I mean cmon „You are my Napoleon,” ???

I was really upset that Pierrot died but knowing him and the complextiy of his character and personality, theres no way he could have survived the War, especially without Rose. He was meant to freeze in time, and Im glad thats how it turned out :)
