5.0

I thought this book was absolutely phenomenal. Rijneveld is such an incredibly unique author that without a doubt is certainly not for everyone. Much like his previous work, The Discomfort of Evening, this book is extremely polarizing in that the topics it tackles are not for the faint of heart. I am obsessed with Rijneveld’s writing style and would at this point consider him one of my favorite authors. For those who enjoy transgressive literature, I would highly recommend this.

Heel knap geschreven. Had wel moeite met uitlezen, omdat het me zo'n naar gevoel gaf.

De manier van schrijven kon me niet meenemen in het verhaal, alsook het verhaal zelf zorgde ervoor dat ik me moeilijk kon inleven in het verhaal.

Een prachtig, vreselijk, meeslepend en moeilijk boek.

De schrijfstijl is fantastisch, maar het verhaal is misselijkmakend--opzettelijk zo. Ik wilde het snel uithebben omdat de schrijfstijl erom vraagt om halsoverkop gelezen te worden, maar ik haastte ook door omdat ik wilde dat het verhaal voorbij was, omdat ik de weerzinwekkende gedachten van de hoofdpersoon niet langer aan kon. 

Absoluut geen prettig of makkelijk boek, maar wel meesterlijk gedaan. Het maakt me nieuwsgierig naar wat Rijneveld nog meer gaat schrijven.
