Another school lecture. It is an important and interesting topic. But it just really doesn’t need to have over 500 pages. It was an okay read. But I did really feel bad at times for the characters. I enjoyed the concept that made them multi layered. There are no good and bad people. You can make mistakes and still make good decisions. Everyone is in the grey area. Was their decision understandable or wrong? Those are things that we talked about a lot in class. I do believe that it has some potential and is really not the worst thing that I needed to read for school.

junge war das ein pain dadurch zu kommen. 
auch wenn das angesprochene thema wichtig und bedeutend ist, hätte arno geiger das ganze vielleicht ein bisschen schöner verpacken können — und mit schöner meine ich nicht nett und verharmlost, sondern interessanter zu lesen. 
um ehrlich zu sein fand ich keinen der charaktere wirklich sympathisch (außer der brasilianer, we stan 🫶🏻) — über den onkel, die quartiersfrau, dohm, etc. muss ich gar nichts sagen. 
aber veit und margot haben margots mann betrogen, was mit nichts zu rechtfertigen ist.

kurt und nanni sind eigentlich auch lustig aber — incest??
und margarete und oskar… wozu waren sie da? legit, wozu wurden sie überhaupt erwähnt? ohne die beiden hätte sich die haupthandlung auch nicht groß verändert.

overall irgendwie chaotisch und verwirrend, auf jeden fall nichts für zwischendurch.
