I had quite a struggle with myself about writing a review of this book. Did I like it? All in all -yes. Did I understand it? I guess so. But it was the most annoying and horrible read I've had in quite some time.
At the beginning I thought: "Crap, so my english really does suck." I had a hard time reading the lines at first untill I found out that the narrator had it's own logic of speaking, thinking and understanding things. I knew almost right away that it was a girl who was narrating the story although she addressed herself as a boy, but I didn't expect everything that went with that fact untill the end. I'm not sure if revealing the plot is a good thing for any potential readers, so just a quick glance at it. A family lives in a secluded estate in the country, their nearest neighbours far away, the town even further. Father dies, leaving two of his children alone. As they have no mother, they have no knowledge what to do on their own, so one of the "brothers" heads to town to purchase a coffin. Their world is indeed shattered, because they know nothing of the world, except of quite a generous amount of knowledge they have learned reading encyclopedias, philosophical and theological books which they've been using according to their own translations and explanations. Or she has, anyway, because her brother is a bit limited in that area. So their story is slowly unfolded to us through the girl's diary and from feeling a surprised amusement and dreading what will happen next we become horror stricken as we learn exactly what happened and what sick life has their father condemned them to by raising them the way he did.
I finished the book about two months ago and I still can't get over it. Recommended!!
And here's the beginning.

na prvo branje tvojega povzetka bi človek menil, da gre za precej dolgočasno knjigo pretiranih natolcevanj o posameznih karkaterjih. a kolikor te poznam, zna bit, da je tale stvar precej bolj zanimiva, sploh, če odnosi med protagonisti bazirajo na višji ravni in jih bralec umeva kot fenomen. ;)
P.S. mi boš bolj razložla, ko se vidma-ob pivu :)
