Trust me, Ive read the so called novel in the original language. it is not really that bad, because the hero is an interesting character. But the writer simply scrued everything up. You can’t understand anything from the plot, the chracters or the message. Everything is so mixed up, the senteces are so long and the memories are so asociative… in something like chapter 3 you just throw the book away, givin’ up, screaming : “what da FUCK??!!”
