Spodziewałem się czegoś bardziej porywającego. Nie mam na myśli tego, że książka była słaba. Po prostu miałem wysokie oczekiwania, patrząc na ogrom pozytywnych opinii i samą długość. Nie podobało mi się wprowadzenie pierwszoosobowego narratora. Spodziewam się, że była to pomyłka. Wątki dotyczące wielu postaci urywały się przedwcześnie, a niektóre zostały wprowadzone niepotrzebnie. Warto przeczytać i tak, klasyk.

"Istnieją takie apetyty - mawiał Samuel - których całe niebo i ziemia ze słodkiego ciasta nie potrafią zaspokoić."
