slowly catching up with you guys...
So, I finished it too, and I loved it - or I should say, I loved the Jakob Beer part, but felt Ben's narration was kind of disjointed for the rest. Did not see his voice as duplicating Jakob's, and indeed for some reason I found myself annoyed with the sex. Nothing moral there, only it felt an extraneous add on, and why and how he falls for Petra is also somewhat "artificial". Is this Michaels' view of men and lust? In fact, I found myself pondering at various points "here we have a woman writer talking in a man's voice, isn't she good", but this thought was also distracting. Is she trying too hard, or is it me (i.e. my feminist side going in overdrive)?
Anyhow, I loved it!
