I found her more interesting, at that point in the story, than Daniel. I found almost everyone in the story more interesting than Daniel and Claudette. Those to navel-gazers bored me silly by the end.

Vau. Ide u omiljene automatski.
Stvarno ne znam šta sam čekala ovoliko.

Kraj knjige je za ocenu 2 ili 3.
Kao da se umorila od pisanja, nedovrsene price, kraj ocekivan, ali nedorecen, blag, nikakav efekat, cisto da se zavrsi knjiga.

Inace je knjiga divna, inteligentni i zanimljivi likovi, drzi paznju nacinom pisanja i poglavljima, prijatna. Skoro do poslednja 3-4 poglavlja ocena je 4+.
