Um...
Adapting to this book's dry humor and morbid tone has been quite a challenge for me. I'm still not over my last book, Notre-Dame, and the initial phase with The Magic Mountain is uncomfortable. I'm not really invested yet, I didn't understand the rhythm of this book, nor what to do with the information I'm being given. I don't yet care about Hans, I even sort of think he's a douche. I like Joachim, though.

I'm reading this one with my mom! And besides the occasional spoiler she inadvertently lets out and the extremely tiny font on this edition (seriously, I kid you not, I had to buy a magnifying glass) this is proving to be a very interesting read.

Partly because he has a very Portuguese name, partly because he's proving to be a chill lad, who kind of is the least favorite child? I like how he is fed up with the Sanatorium, because I'm kind of already fed up with the Sanatorium.
