I enjoyed this but I didn't think it was amazing. What if an old person was an assassin? A fine premise but not that artfully explored.

Jak większość osób sięgających po tę książkę, zaintrygował mnie pomysł na główną bohaterkę: zabójczynię seniorkę. Niestety wiele z tego nie wynikło. Oprócz kilku (niekoniecznie odkrywczych) spostrzeżeń na temat starzenia się i starości książka ma niewiele ciekawego do powiedzenia, a napisana jest nudnym, drętwym językiem.

A unique examination of aging and the ways the past can catch up with us.
