I would say this book was quite painful to get through, with a lot of very heavy themes and a slow pace. I am still happy to have read it, and I thought it was very thought-provoking at times. I chose to write a short essay about it in my German lit class because I was so engulfed in it that I wanted to explore it further, even after having discussed it passionately at the seminar.
