ok

Pribeh se sice odehrava v alternativni casove linii, kdy Amerika prijala Zidy ve velkym na Aljasce, ale jinak je to spis detektivka. Zapletka v posledni tretine dost graduje a vlastne me zaujala. Knizka zpocatku trpela zbytecne okridlenym jazykem, casem si to sedlo.

Jako ok, ale znovu bych si to nedal.

It's more of detective story despite placed in alternative timeline where jews fled to Alaska. I've had hard times to cope with the superfluous language/too many words at beginning, but it calmed down a little after some hundred pages.

Not bad, not fantastic, read & forget.
