Es ist ein interessantes Buch und ich kann sehen, wieso es verschiedene Literaturpreise gewonnen hat. Es hat mich nicht gepackt und ich habe es eher etwas langsam gelesen.
Die Schriftart wirkt nicht gekünstelt sondern echt und treffend.

Wie auch schon viele andere angesprochen haben ist die Sprache zum Teil sehr vulgär. Dies hat mich zwischendurch aus der Geschichte gerissen. Ich bin mir jedoch sicher, dass diese Teile einfach ins Buch gehören und auch wegen ihrem Schockfaktor dort sind.

Alles in allem ist es ein Buch bei dem am Ende vieles Sinn macht und erklärt wird. Für mich existiert das Buch einfach und es könnte nicht anders existieren. Es ist ein Buch, dass langsam gelesen werden muss und es ist eindeutig keine leichte Kost.
