Alright, is someone willing to let me know what they found in this book exactly? I really do want to understand your perspective.Ĭonsidering that the book is 80% thoughts about death and suicide (it literally has the words “death” and “murder” at least once a page for very many pages in a row from beginning onwards – it slowed down once Kinyas and Kayra started reconsidering their sad lives), it was implied that it should be read by younger people as they would feel it more. It was mostly vague and random impressions of feelings and musing. All the positive reviews… had 0 explanation why they actually liked this book.Best review: a guy who threw the book away and sat around for 6 hours with nothing to do at an airport, which he believes is a time better spent.And to understand this phenomenon, I actually read the first few pages of reviews on Goodreads, as well as the comments. It absolutely blows my mind that this book can resonate with someone.
Well, it took me a whole week to finish this stinking pile of crap, and only because there were moments I so wanted to not read it, that I was just lying in bed googling memes of funny Tinder conversations. Ya know what, nevermind, they actually want to be loved and accepted. Wait, let’s rape some underage girls first. Each one hates the world and everyone in it, wants to die, no, wait, wants to kill everyone, no… wants to die. In short: Kinyas and Kayra, the world’s dumbest and most arrogant criminals, travel around the world, especially Africa, kill, rape and steal, while contemplating death, murder and suicide. What really pisses me off is not that the book is absolutely horrible, but that it’s actually considered a modern-day classic in Turkey.
In fact, I’d say that it’s worse than Justine, and I thought it would be hard to top that off. Kinyas and Kayra is the most God-awful, distasteful and tedious book I’ve read since Justine ou les Malheurs de la vertu. ( Author: Hakan Gunday) + ( Year: 2000) + ( Goodreads)
