- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
1.5
If the writing is good, the topic could be interesting, but the content is some misogynistic "what makes a man a man" bs, then this rating is still generous.

I read this book for the maturita exam.
The characters are intriguing. Especially the main character. I find them to be rather complex yet not loveable or hateable. I believe it's because of the fact of how little I know about the characters.
The ordinary life of a person working at the train station during the second world war. How does the war affect him?
I don't want to share any lines.
I like how the book ended.
I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this book was the same as Postřižiny. I'm glad I read it only because of the maturita exam.

a quick review for a mercifully short novel. this guy is supposed to be very humorous but i must confess that the humour almost completely flew over my head. i was all ready to give up on this when i got to the end (not really understanding anything that had happened really) and it made it all worthwhile. it was a single scene, really one short sequence of events, but it was crafted so powerfully, and has left its mark in my mind.

pas foufou mais lecture en diagonale, si j’y avais prêté plus d’attention peut être que mon avis aurait été plus favorable
