This was (I think) my first German-translated book. I was so excited to read it—the orange cover really got me—but as usual, it's never available in local bookstores here in the Philippines, so I went to Libby and put a hold on it. It took months of waiting—and it was... okay.

I like the writing of this book. I mean, some stories are meant to be in this medium. I love how the words fit together, like reading a good setting and all that. I thought this could never be done in film. I think I expected too much, and now, I feel somehow distraught because in some ways, this story has been told before, and I read others that are more gripping.
