Finally!! Am Anfang fiel es mir unfassbar schwer mich a den Schreibstil zu gewöhnen, ich glaub es hat fast 300 Seiten gebraucht bis ich richtig drin war… Aber dann hat es mich zerrissen. Diese 4 Menschen lernt man so nah kennen, man fühlt sich als wäre man mit ihnen befreundet. Sie wachsen quasi vor deiner Nase auf, du lernst über die Vergangenheiten, ihre Wünsche, Träume und ihre Zukunft. In manchen Momenten freut man sich für die 4 und im nächsten musst du das Buch aus der Hand legen, weil du nicht mehr aufhören kannst zu weinen. 
Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall das Buch zu lesen und dran zu bleiben, auch wenn es einem am Anfang schwer fallen kann.

I have never read a book like this before and I don't think I ever will again. It is a very powerful book and it'll always stay in my heart.
