Etenee aika hitaasti, mut toisaalta taas koko ajan tapahtuu jotain. Aika paljon naisvihaa (ja siis ylipäätään naisista sellasta halveksivaa kieltä) ja rasismia, joten jos ei ois ollu pakko lukee nii oisin jättäny kesken jo alussa. Tässä on kuitenkin paljon myös mielenkiintosia käännekohtia ja tää käsittelee monia eri teemoja että kyllä tästä varmasti jotain saa irti.

This is book wonderful and I liked the language in which it was written.  The description of life at that time was also good.
