Likte den! 
Hadde sine morsomme øyeblikk. 
Leste den dessverre over et for langt tidsrom, at jeg glemte mange av karakterenes relasjoner til hverandre, ergo ble slutten litt for-fletta og litt disorientert for meg. Men alt i alt synes jeg den var interessant, var litt skeptisk til tittelen og om den var veldig woke. Den ga nye perspektiver + gøy å lese om stedene jeg har vært i London. Synes både Dominique 
Og gårdsarvenes historier var kul!
Likte skrivestilen, mangelen på komma og punktum fikk det som å virke som en bølge av tanker. Bra skrevet

This. Was. Great.
Funny and cheeky and huge in scope. Reminded me of Homegoing, but with a experimental twist. Probably my favourite book of the year.

Jag läste den här till engelskan. Den var intressant och bra ibland. Det var svårt att hänga med hur alla karaktärer är kopplade och svårt att hålla isär så många olika och komma ihåg vem som var vem. Sen gillade jag  inte att det inte var några punkter i texten.

This book had a very interesting structure - each chapter written in a separate "voice," seemingly disparate stories interweaving and going back hundreds of years. My favorite parts showed how people see themselves so differently than how others see them. Interesting take on race in Britain.

DNF - I’m sure this holds a great collection of stories but it’s difficult to get into.

The prose was strange. It was like modern poetry but in book paragraph formats. The paragraphs were typically different from each other, which extremely impacted the smoothness of reading. This style isn’t for me.

The story had promise, but I was very thrown off at the prose. I might pick it up again later when it is a bit more appealing to me.
