 Well… That was certainly a very interesting read. Takes a while to get used to, especially since the book is mostly character driven, while plot is not even that important for Mann. I have to admit that it was a hard read, but all in all I would definitely recommend it, especially because it will make you think/wonder about certain topics characters discussed.
