Kirja-arvosteluja
Aika suuri hämäys Tekijä: Jennifer Egan
Mielenkiintoinen rakenne, joka myös toimii. Hyvä kerronta, sujuvaa luettavaa. Ei kuitenkaan sijoitu kovin korkealle omalla asteikollani.
½I enjoyed this book so much! I had my doubts (for some reason I tend to avoid books about music - go figure?) but since she won the Pulitzer and since I already bought it I thought I'd give it a try. What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be! Not that much about music, but seemingly random excerpts on different lives in different times. All this randomness starts to tie together, and at the end it's just one story. Perfect for my wandering mind!
