Reviews with content warning for Death - The Disaster Tourist

no sākuma bija ļoti cerīgi - tika pastāstīts par jonas dzīvi & darbu, viņa aizbrauca ceļojumā uz kafastrofas vietu un apmeklēja dažādas vietas mui ar saviem grupas biedriem. bet no tā momenta, kad jona palika vilcienā un nošķīrās no grupas, es sāku nesaprast.
no sākuma likās, ka es lasu ceļojuma bukletu, tad tas viss vienā brīdī pārvērtās par dabaszinību grāmatu dažādu terminu aprakstu kā karsta kritenes utt. dēļ, un tad tā pārvērtās par eksistenciālisma literatūru, ka es beigu beigās neko nesapratu, kas vispār notiek. tikai beigās, izlasot par cunami un pāršķirot pēdējo lappusi, kad es beidzot sāku saprast sižetu, grāmata vienkārši beidzās - aprauti un bez nekāda paskaidrojuma. kā arī laka un jonas attiecībām nebija pilnīgi nekāda romantiskā pamata, kā tikai tas, ka pēkšņi viņi pēc 3 nedēļām ir pāris, like... HUH?!
tā arī beigās nesapratu, kas tas ir - eksistenciālisms, reālisms, fantastika vai vēl kas cits. viegli aizmirstams sižets.

If you're a ratings person I guess technically this would be a 3.75 book but I bumper it up a little because I truly haven't read anything like this before. I feel like I say that way too often but really mean it this time. I feel like I had the appropriate expectations for this book but still it was unique and surprising. There's actually a lot to unpack here but I don't have the words to do it at the moment.

TL;DR: wasn't a perfect read but I can't stop thinking about it
