Gevoelige jongen, die Jonathan. Knap om zo'n karakter zo overtuigend neer te zetten. Gevoelig, maar geen watje. Een jongen met een levendige binnenwereld, maar die niet het contact met de buitenwereld verliest. Dat juist helemaal niet. Die buitenwereld inspireert hem vooral. Zijn hoofd gaat aan de haal met dingen die om hem heen gebeuren.

De 'gevoelige verzen' lijken een beetje op de gedichtjes die ik me herinner uit een van de boeken uit de Madelief-serie. Daarvan weet ik nog de fantastische vondst 'ik heb een nicht met een gezicht'.

Leest heel snel. Moest uit het magazijn worden gehaald.

Verliefdheid, 1e druk 1980, B-boek.
