Reviews

[Eithan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had to admit that i almost didn't make it to the 120th page, almost all of the 1st half is just very boring (and on top of that written in older Hebrew which makes it even less exciting) description of the Kibbutz and the agricultural work there. Really wanted to stop but because it's considered such an important book decided to keep on. I have to say that it payed off. The 2nd part of the book that already talks about the love affair between Mika (a new immigrant) & Uri (Zabar from that Kibbutz). That story is really well written and it almost gets better with every page until the very last. Shamir managed to portray exceptionally well how people think in their perspective ages (i can fully recall some instances that i felt exactly like Uri in some difficult situations and from what i know about the other sex few told me instances that they felt like Mika) and Shamir presents it in a great way.
I'd say that for me because of the struggle to get through the 1st half plus the older language made it an overall average book but if you can skim your way & then read only the 2nd half this book is very good
