4.0

Eine Novelle die sich gut lesen lässt. Der Großteil ist recht deskriptiv und dialogreich und hat mich vom Stil an "Gottes Werk und Teufels Beitrag" erinnert, nur ein sehr viel kürzerer Ausschnitt einer Lebensgeschichte. Beim Ende hat sich die Sprache m.M.n. etwas verändert, war ein wenig lyrischer statt sachlicher, was mir gut gefallen hat.
Das Ende hat mich echt etwas fertig gemacht, aber es hat sehr gut gepasst. Hat mir insgesamt gut gefallen und für die Kürze des Buches bleibt es trotzdem im Kopf.

Don't read the reviews if you haven't already read this short story. They are riddled with spoilers. Same goes with this one.

This novella is masterfully written, and I may or may not have cried like a bitch at the ending.
