However, if you can get past the pace to appreciate the story, it's well worth it! Great example of new German novels - Latin American magical realism tinting German factualism (is that a word?). Humanist, maybe? At any rate, if you have a bit of time, I very much suggest exposing yourself to this new kind of novel! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/146693?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
