Pitäisi lopettaa sellaisten kirjojen lukeminen, joissa tuntuu siltä kuin pitäisi tykätä hahmoista, mutta ei todellakaan tykkää. Kirjassa hahmot eivät ole pidettäviä, vaikkakin ne ovat aitoja. Kaikki tuntuu epätodelliselta, tavallaan painajaisunelta, jossa kaikki on joko liioiteltua, vähäteltyä tai muutoin väritettyä, ja mittasuhteet aina pielessä.

Kieli on kaunista ja tarina tietyllä tavallaan seesteisyydessään kiinnostava. En kuitenkaan ehkä tartu enää Levyn kirjoihin.

Really interesting book, Levy is a talented writer and Hot Milk will certainly leave you scratching your head long after you've read it.
