Ich mochte die Sprachbilder der ersten beiden Kapitel, die Suche nach den Wurzeln, die Biografien, die mich mehr und mehr in Bann zogen. Ich mochte das Überraschende und die Beschreibungen. Es gab einige Stellen, die ich verstörend fand, wie einige Untiefen im Leben des*der Protagonist*in. Den Umschwung der Sprache und des Stils von den ersten beiden auf das dritte Kapitel fand ich schade, aber es hatte dann auch seinen Reiz. Das letzte Kapitel auf Englisch? Ok. Alles in allem ist mir das Lesen leicht gefallen. Ja, teils war die Sprache fancy instagrammy, aber ok.

Es ist ein interessantes Buch und ich kann sehen, wieso es verschiedene Literaturpreise gewonnen hat. Es hat mich nicht gepackt und ich habe es eher etwas langsam gelesen.
Die Schriftart wirkt nicht gekünstelt sondern echt und treffend.

Wie auch schon viele andere angesprochen haben ist die Sprache zum Teil sehr vulgär. Dies hat mich zwischendurch aus der Geschichte gerissen. Ich bin mir jedoch sicher, dass diese Teile einfach ins Buch gehören und auch wegen ihrem Schockfaktor dort sind.

Alles in allem ist es ein Buch bei dem am Ende vieles Sinn macht und erklärt wird. Für mich existiert das Buch einfach und es könnte nicht anders existieren. Es ist ein Buch, dass langsam gelesen werden muss und es ist eindeutig keine leichte Kost.
