Dieses Buch ist sehr anders, als alles was ich sonst so lese. Ich habe deshalb das Gefühl ich bin nicht besonders qualifiziert für eine Bewertung aber mir hat das Buch gefallen.
In vielen Gedanken von Kim de l'Horizon habe ich mich wiedergefunden - zur Familie, zum Berndeutschen (welches auch meine Meersprache ist), zu Sexualität, zum Klassismus nennt man das wohl. Das war sehr interessant. Das Buch war für mich zugänglicher als gedacht und hat mich sehr zum Nachdenken angeregt.
Ausserdem finde ich die Sprache des Buchs sehr ansprechend.

Der Mini-Sterne-Abzug ist sehr persönlich, ein paar wenige Szenen (besonders eine Sexszene) waren für mich etwas zu heftig und ich habe keine riesige Lust, sie noch ein zweites Mal zu lesen.
