Definitivamente lo mejor de la novela es la escritura, me sorprende como no había casi ningún diálogo y aún así es increíble y nada tedioso. Pero bueno, todo está tan bien estructurado y tan bien hilado, que lo ame.

yeah. not my cup of tea to be exact. only pulled through so that, for one, didn’t feel bad and also just so i could say that i’ve read it. that’s it. probably never picking this up again.

Disturbing and bizarre story, certainly odd, bordering on unsettling at times. The storyline itself is straightforward, but I just didn’t connect with the content. It felt strange and difficult to fully appreciate. 

However, I must give credit where it’s due: the author’s writing style is exceptional, especially when reading it in German. He clearly has great literary skills, and his ability to create such a vivid atmosphere is undeniable. While the story may not have been to my taste, the craft behind the writing is impressive. 

An incredibly bizarre and yet somehow fascinating book. An absolute feast for the sense of smell, with a peculiar tradition of ending each part with a death.
