This was a tough 180-pages and I only finished it, because I have just a few books in Danish. I would have dropped it after a few pages, if it was in another language. Why?
I cannot read books where’s too much jumping from one thought to another or from one story line to another every few sentences and then I need to constantly go back and reread a lot of parts, because I loose a grip of what’s happening.
And the story itself was not interesting for me, maybe I just read the book at the wrong time.
Also there are very few characters and I did not find any that would be very attractive to me and would keep the reading more interesting.
This one is going to ‘never again’ pile. Not for me

Komt een beetje traag op gang, maar dan volgt een pareltje!
Mooie zinnen zoals
* Een boek kun je beschouwen als een kameraad. Het is vandaag precies zoals gisteren en verandert niet.
* Diezelfde bosgrond en de appelrode zomernamiddag ...
* Hij rood de geur van zee en zout water.

Interessant fortælling der mixer perspektiver, tider og personer. Skriveformen er det der gør historien spændende, men også forvirrende. Jeg er vild med ideen om at beskrive en persons sidste tid, men jeg er efterladt med flere spørgsmål end svar

k had me méér van dit boek voorgesteld. Op de achterflap staat dat dit boek zich laat vergelijken met Hersenschimmen van Bernlef, maar daar ben ik het niet mee eens. In het onderwerp dementie ben ik altijd erg geïnteresseerd, maar deze schrijfstijl (vooral de cursief geschreven stukken) sprak mij totaal niet aan.

Šī ir viena no tām grāmatām, kuru lasot, un pēc izlasīšanas, tā vien gribas ieteikt visiem radiem, draugiem un cilvēkiem uz ielas..
