Reviews

[Hanna Morre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kauniita, surullisia novelleja sinänsä. Kokoelmana ei ihan toiminut, liian toisteista ja epätasaista. Pidän kuitenkin Kailaan runoista enemmän.

[Anni · Rating 4 out of 5]

3,5 Kiinnostava vaikkakin epätasainen kokoelma Kailaksen proosaa

harmi, ettei tullut luettua jälkisanoja ensin, varmasti jäi paljon asioita huomaamatta lukiessa. täytyypi lukea elämäkerta
