WAS STIMMT MIT MIR NICHT.
WARUM MOCHTE ICH DAS BUCH EINFACH NICHT.
Ich fühle mich total unnormal, weil JEDER dieses Buch liebt und ich es einfach nicht mögen konnte.
Don’t get me wrong, die Liebesgeschichte von Achill und Patroklos interessiert mich so sehr und ich bin so verdammt neugierig und aufgeregt gewesen.
Aber ich habe weder mitgefühlt noch geweint, ich kann’s einfach nicht glauben.
