For some reason, I had really high expectations for this book. The language is very bland, it takes forever for a character to get to the point and Hasan, Metin and, to some extent, Faruk are way too similar. I guess the last poin could be excused since Pamuk said something about him being each character. On the other hand, I really enjoyed certain parts of the plot and the voices (although similar) of the characters. I have no idea how should rate this tbh
