After thinking about this book I liked it more then afzer just finishing it. I think it‘s a book you need to reread a few times to really get it. But I enjoyed the writig style and will for sure pick up anlther of kafkas books

I really enjoyed reading this, it‘s a great beginning to tolstois writig style if you want to read some of his longer books like anna karenina. I think that it discusses importat philosophical questions about death and the fear of death that we usually don‘t talk about.

Musste das für die Schule lesen und es war sehr anstrengen. Ich verstehe das Ende nicht und allgemein  Felix Krull als Charakter nicht.

4.0

I read it in frech, which i don’t understand that well, that‘s why it was even harder to understand. The main-character is extremly interesting but I didn’t get his pov till the very end. I think a second read is probably the best option if you really want to understand the novel.
But honestly I think this discusses lots of great themes and topics you wouldn‘t think about if it wasn‘t for this book. That‘s why I think you wouldn‘t go wrong with this choice and should probably read it. 
I gave this book a 4⭐️ review because it was captivating to read. This book made me think, and I mean really think, and read actively like no book in a long time has.

Nach der Lektüre dieses Buches bin ich sprachlos. Dieses Buch hat mir gezeigt wie toll Bücher sind. Es ist lustig und spannend wie Saša die Sprache nutzt. 
Das Buch wird nie langweilig, von Dialogen, Gedichten bis zu 'Choos Your Own Adventure', oder wie das heisst. Es ist ein tolles Buch, das von seinem Leben erzählt. Wie er aus Bosnien flüchten musst und mit seinen Eltern nach Deutschland gebracht wurde. Es geht aber nicht nur um ihn sondern auch um seine demente Grossmutter. Während ehr Infos sucht und findet, Spricht sie in Löchern und kann den eigenen Enkel nicht wiedererkennen. 
Es ist ein Buch welches ich jedem, der aus so einem Hintergrund kommt empfehlen würde. Mein Vater ist im selben Alter wie Saša in die Schweiz gekommen, jetzt nach der Lektüre dieses Buches kann ich seine Sichtweise besser verstehen. Nichtsdestotrotz glaube ich, dass die Lektüre dieses Buches jedem eine Freude bereiten und wenn nicht zum Nachdenken bringen, was Herkunft überhaut bedeutet. 

Deshalb gebe ich diesem Buch eine Lockere 5 ⭐Bewertung, und freue mich jetzt schon auf die Zweitlektüre.
