u_u's review against another edition

I did not finish this book (I got up to page 150) because its racist undertones became to strong for me. I didn't like it and i did'nt want to read along with this lense anymore at a certain point. It has intresting character descriptions and an intresting premise. There is a strong focus on social situations and the behaviour and its depth of each charcter. The protagonist is very, for lack of a better word...'toxic' which was intresting at first, and could be, if you are into that stuff, but combined with the racism I just no longer wanted to read about it.
