Good concept, but I struggled to connect with the characters. The themes are interesting, but the execution fell a bit flat for me. It can be very relatable

Found it quite depressing and slow. The writing is good, but the overall tone was just too bleak for me. Not something I’d read again, to be honest.

Eagleton’s writing is sharp, but I found the plot a bit slow-moving at times. Corde’s observations are insightful, but the bleakness was a bit overwhelming. Overall, a thoughtful but challenging read.

I struggled to connect with the characters. The descriptions of Bucharest were vivid, but the story felt a bit detached. Not my favorite Eagleton, but still has merit.
