I was very sceptical about this book at first. The annotation says it’s a story about a middle-aged man who falls in love with a young girl, and this description was frightening me. I’ve already read a book with a similar plot and that was quite a disappointment.

But I have to admit that from time to time this book was even interesting for me. I liked to read and see how differently people view the same situation, what methods they use to achieve their goals, what (or even who) they are ready to sacrifice in order to maintain their own reputation.

The incredibly long and boring reflections of the main hero about literature and writing were very repelling. I’d say that they make a book look more like a science project than a piece of fiction. Sometimes his thoughts were interesting and helped to understand the acts of the character. But as for me their amount could be not so big.

So this book is unusual. It seems that there is nothing special about it, but it definitely HAS something. Even when I finished this book, I couldn’t find answers to all the questions. But this fact only makes the book realistic. Because in real life we can’t know everything too. We know only things that others allow us to know.
