Hienoa, että kirjailija menestyy ja on kirjoittanut myyviä teoksia. Minuun tämä kirja ei uponnut. Odotin siitä ehkä liikaa ja petyin siksi. Minusta hieman sekava ja poukkoileva. Ok, kertoi elämästä Virossa ja kuinka vaikeaa se oli, mutta...ei vain sytyttänyt.It is wonderful that Sofi Oksanen is a successful writer and let´s hope she writes best selling novels also in the future. However, this novel is over phrased. It did not spark me up in any way. It was straight forward text, sometimes a little bit confusing and messy.
It took weeks to get through 50 or 60 pages, so I abandoned this one. In a better state of mind, I might have forged ahead and believed the pace to pick up. Chances are it would have, as it seemed like the plot was pointed towards human trafficking. I just didn't have the patience at the moment. I can't pinpoint the exact issue, but the translation did feel awkward and there wasn't enough to keep me interested.
¡Qué chingón!
