“I really enjoyed the book because it describes in a very interesting way a culture that is very different from my own. This is what I really liked about the book. I didn't like the characters. There is something wrong with every and each of them - but maybe that's the way Pamuk wanted it to be. The storyline is good, the mystery is a bit too easy to solve, but then again it's just an excuse to show the culture and environment. Overall: really worth reading for anyone interested in muslim culture or going to Istanbul anytime soon :)”
