Líbil se mi styl vyprávění a popisy, krásně vykreslená atmosféra a místa děje.

Měla jsem se radši podívat na film. Bylo by to kratší.
1. Kniha je neskutečně nudná.
2. Protože všichni v té knize jsou neskutečně nudní, šediví a placatí.
3. Pokud má být Lili/Einar trans, tak proč Lili neví, co dělal Einar, a Einar si nepamatuje, co dělá Lili? Přeoperování na ženskou jako lék na disociativní poruchu identity?

Me gustó, fue una historia digna de conocer. Esta bien que solo veas la película, pero el libro si contiene bastantes cosas diferentes. Mi único problema con la historia es la forma en que está escrita (que es algo muy importante), en esta te situaban en un lugar para después introducirte a otro porque Greta lo recordaba o Einar o el que sea haha y eso confundía y no dejaba fluir a la historia. Pero quitando esa distracción (para mí) la historia es buena y te encariñas con Lili, la amas, te desespera, te da tristeza, etc. Me gustó c:

I found the premise of this story fascinating, especially after reading the afterward and doing a bit of research about Lili. However, I felt that much of the book was rather boring.
