Wells ist es wieder gelungen, mich mit dem Schreibstil und Plot so in den Roman zu verwickeln, dass es mir nicht mehr wie eine fiktive Geschichte vorkommt. Besonders rührend waren manche Parallelen zu meinem eigenen Leben. Außerdem kann jeder einige Ratschläge und Denkanstöße für das eigene Leben aus der Geschichte mitnehmen.

The writing style of the first ~50 pages sounded so pretentious - as if the author desperately wants his book to be talked about in high schools.
It got better after that and was easy to read (which kinda saved it from a really bad rating), but contemporary literature about the regrets and tragedies in the life of a middle aged white guy just isn't my jam.
