The Heir of Tottisalmi

Ox Killing Weapon

The writing is too stark and laconic for my taste. It does have this hopeless and oppressing atmosphere (especially when you know that someday the world will look like this) but it's also horribly monotonic. At times it feels like some horrendous list and doesn't give the reader any chance to connect with the characters at an emotional level.

I loved the concept and the way it was written. Although at some point I started losing my interest and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read it when I was younger.

Nice satire, it made me laugh out loud a couple of times that books have never made me do. Though halfway through I became bored and wished they would either get together or be forgotten. So it gets old really fast and things become so ridiculous it's not even funny anymore.
