All I can say is that this book is sad . I do not totally understand it and maybe I do not understand it at all , but I felt something and I think that says a lot . I kept thinking about it the whole day !
“Life is such a strange thing, she thinks, once she has stopped laughing. Even after certain things have happened to them, no matter how awful the experience, people still go on eating and drinking, going to the toilet and washing themselves—living, in other words. And sometimes they even laugh out loud. And they probably have these same thoughts, too, and when they do it must make them cheerlessly recall all the sadness they’d briefly managed to forget.�

“I’d subliminally determined at this point that the only way to really know what was going on in the world was to listen to women talk. Anyone who ignores the chatter of women is poorer by any measure.�
“All men are weak,� said Phin. “That’s the whole bloody trouble with the world. Too weak to love properly. Too weak to be wrong.�

لكون لج الجزء الاول من سلسلة من خمس كتب ، فالقصة لحد الان سطحية ، و وصف العالم ضعيف . لذلك يصعب علي تقييم مدى استمتاعي بالكتاب.

أما في يخص الكتابة ، فالاسلوب ركيك جدا لدرجة انه يجعلك تتفائل لامكانية ان تصبح انت ايضا روائيا يوما ما. و الغريب في الامر انني املك طبعة اصلية جديدة و جميلة الا انها تحتوي على الكثير من الاخطاء الاملائية . عجيب !!
أملك الكتاب الثاني لذا سأعطي الكاتب فرصة ثانية على أمل ان تكون هناك تفاصيل اكثر .
A great premise and a beautiful message, but this book didn’t need to be 400 pages . The length ruined the experience as it was very repetitive.

My favorite quotes :
� You’re only as old as you feel.�
“There is a time, she thinks, at the start of any relationship, when the process of falling in love softens a personality, like wax in a warm room. And so two people in love change, just a little, pushing their wax figures together, a protuberance here smoothed down but creating a dip there. It doesn’t last long, the time when love can gently change who you are�
“Being happy to be single had felt obligatory, a statement of feminism or autonomy or just a way to head off coupled friends who she didn’t want feeling sorry for her. The weight of that requirement had made it difficult, sometimes, to figure out how she really felt.�
I dived into this book with absolutely no idea of what it is about and I enjoyed it very very very much . I think this book is simple and to the pointI dived into this book with absolutely no idea of what it is about and I enjoyed it very very very much . I think this book is simple and to the point . It’s neither complex nor deep . It is NORMaL . I’m in love with the author’s writing style . It’s simple yet beautiful. The characters were very interesting and the story compelling.
The lack of communication between the characters is irritating but so real . As human beings , we are irritating, we do not communicate what we think and feel , and only when it’s too late do we regret not saying what we wanted to say . We are disgusting , we are mentally unstable and we do everything we can to ruin our own lives . It is normal . ( probably not)
Favorite quotes:
“Generally I find men are a lot more concerned with limiting the freedoms of women than exercising personal freedom for themselves,�
“I mean, when you look at the lives men are really living, it’s sad, Marianne says. They control the whole social system and this is the best they can come up with for themselves? They’re not even having fun.�
“Is the world such an evil place, that love should be indistinguishable from the basest and most abusive forms of violence? �
“Not for the first time Marianne thinks cruelty does not only hurt the victim, but the perpetrator also, and maybe more deeply and more permanently. You learn nothing very profound about yourself simply by being bullied; but by bullying someone else you learn something you can never forget.�
