As a lover of excessive and overt foreshadowing, I really enjoyed this book’s narrator so much.

Ruge is a great writer but this book really starts to drag around the halfway mark and also the story feels like at least three extended metaphors at the same time, to the detriment to all of them imo

Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
Audiobook was not very well read, and I’m not finding anything in this that the movie didn’t do as good or better.
Somewhat preachy and EXTREMELY repetitive.

So schöne Prosa findet man selten in Sachbüchern. Schade nur, dass der Autor so selten auf seinen doch sehr privilegierten Sonderstatus als Kind adliger Grundbesitzer zu sprechen kommt.
