Elizabeth Zott is an inspiration of meticulous tenacity. I'm honestly speechless; the care and craft of all the characters is phenomenal.
I also deeply appreciate the unrelenting & uncompromising commitment to social justice throughout the text. There's a lot to take from that.
IT'S SO GOOD. I'm immediately watching the show on Apple TV.

Itse TV-kokkiosuus ja sen tuoman julkisuuden kuvaus on lopulta aika pienessä roolissa. Enemmän aikaa saavat Elizabethin traaginen parisuhde, siihen liittyvät yksityiskohdat ja siitä seuranneet tapahtumat. Kirja keskittyy siis hiukan eri asioihin joita takakannen perusteella odotin.
Tämän kirjan lukemisessa kesti todella kauan, koska en osannut päättää, pidänkö siitä vai en. Alku imaisi mukaansa, mutta ensimmäisen sadan sivun jälkeen romaanin pääsanoma oli tullut kristallinkirkkaaksi: 1960-luvun Yhdysvalloissa naisia arvostettiin todella vähän. Seksismi tuodaan esiin jokaisessa kohtauksessa, joten asia ei voi jäädä keneltäkään epäselväksi. Sen jälkeen tuntui, ettei romaanilla enää ole mitään uutta sanottavaa, varsinkin koska itse Elizabeth lipuu tapahtumien läpi ilman että ne vaikuttavat häneen juuri ollenkaan. (No loppupuolella hän kyllä murtuu...) Kirjassa on kuitenkin hetkensä ja muutama humoristinen hahmo, ja koska olin jo päässyt aika pitkälle, päätin lukea kirjan loppuun.
Olenkohan ainoa, jota häiritsi koiran Puoli-Seitsemän näkökulmasta kerrotut osuudet? Elizabethin koko hahmo perustuu tieteeseen ja logiikkaan, joten häneen ei tunnu sopivan vahva luotto koiran ihmismäiseen älykkyyteen. Tunnistin kyllä, että joihinkin lukiojoihin Puoli-Seitsemän näkökulma tehoaa, mutta en itse kuulu heidän joukkoonsa.

The writing is fine, but the story was slow, cliche, and very heavy handed. It became preachy very quickly. The sexism was overdone straying into cartoonish villains.
I personally hated the dog’s perspective, and I hated all the talk of rowing.
