Negative Positive
Title: Badly translated or badly written?
Review: Not sure which one it is: whether the book was lost in translation or whether the author did not know what he was doing.Very hard to read, raises many questions and does not provide many answers, you get lost in duration of the events described in the book (how long does Ka spend in Kars : 1 week or 1 year?), weird references to newspapers being published in advance describing events that are yet to happen like they can foresee the future (i.e. Ka will write a poem called "Snow"), the whole idea of girls wanting to wear headscarves as their religion asks of them, but at the same time ending their lives with a suicide (which is a far great sin than not wearing a scarf, I believe) seems absurd. Many, many things make you raise your eye browse and then leaving you annoyed as you cannot find answers to all your questions. I forced myself to finish the book as I was hoping to find answers. No luck. Waste of time.
