I didn't enjoy this book much. The story is well written and easy to read (besides searching the meaning of a few words). I was not a fan of the antisemitism woven through the book.

I did not enjoy the 'book within a book'. I begrudgingly read it because I was unsure whether it was important to the story or not. I found the ending of the book a bit trash too. I have searched for an explanation of it, but haven't felt satisfied.

This book is not what i would typically read, however it was alright. I found it to be waht i would say boringly intresting. This is a pretty absurd book. The things happing in the book is a much more abusert way of thing that can/ is happing today. I have my thieris of things happening in the book. I wish i never got the answers to with is pretty facsinating. I would say that as a book it self i would rered it, mustly becuse of the language and how long it would actually take me to read it. But i do find the stroy intresting and therefor it can be a book that i happen to reread in the futrere as it is always going to relevent book to our world today. This book was sliglhty difficult to get through, the majority of the book i lisend to it with aduio while following  in the book, If it werent for that i would probebly use a long time to finsih it. I was also slightly demotivatet to read as it was a book for english, and i had to read it. I do recomend this book.
