Forse avevo troppe aspettative, chi lo sa, però da un certo punto in poi l’ho veramente trascinato. Un finale telefonatissimo, personaggi che sfuggono di mano, lungaggini di cui avrei fatto volentieri a meno. Magari ci riproviamo con un altro libro, neh, Paasilinna?

zgodna ideja - dvojica finaca susreću se prilikom neuspjelog pokušaja samoubojstva, odluče okupiti istomišljenike (ili kako već nazvati to... ljude koji namjeravaju počiniti samoubojstvo) i tako grupa od njih tridesetak kreće na put po finskoj preko njemačke i švicarske do portugala i putem, naravno, mijenjaju odluku, zavole život.

jasno je od samog početka kuda ova priča vodi, nema nikakvih iznenađenja. hvaljena je zbog humora, ali radije bih rekla da je pisana pod kapom situacije apsurda, tu i tamo protkane skečevima od kojih ti se brk nasmiješi.

i da... još i mogu na temu samoubojstva gledati s dozom crnog humora, ali na temu brutalnog obiteljskog nasilja te silovanja, držanja za seksualnog roba i ubojstva djevojčice ne mogu. makar su to sasvim sporedne situacije, opisane tek kroz nekoliko odlomaka, to mi je bilo ipak too much, čak i za roman apsurda.

Even though this book is about a very serious topic, it is still filled with humour and sarcasm; that's why I loved reading it and I can't wait to read the rest of Paasilinna's works.
