Dilinin ağırlığı bazı bölümlerde çokça hissettim. Bu da okuma şevkini biraz düşürdü. Hikayelere gelince beğendiğim ve begenmediklerim oldu.

İlk yarıda bulunan öyküler güzeldi. Kıyıda köşede kalmaması gereken yazarlar arasında Güntekin.

Acımak isimli romanından çok etkilendiğim için okumaya başladığım bir kitap olmuştu. Sanırım okuduğum yaş itibari ile, karşılıklı aşk mektuplarından oluşan kitap, bende yeterli derinliği bulamamıştı. Yine de keyifle okuduğumu anımsıyorum.
