  Supposedly an uproariously funny book. I found myself annoyed at the way it was written though. A bit too contrived for my taste.

  Hilarious with an intriguing plot. The characters are funny and the prose fluid. You would have attended a lesson on Ukranian history after finishing the book.

  Ukrania is not a fun place to live though ...

  So, the cover of this edition sells the book to you as hilarious and funny... I must say I don't agree that much. Maybe it's me, maybe I don't have a good sense of humour, but I actually found this novel bittersweet and melancholy. True, there are some funny moments - but they always have this sort of lurking background sadness.
  That said, it's very intelligent, a very interesting description of old age and senility, of greed, of family relations and of the importance of memory. I liked it. it's thought provoking, and the writers masters language very well, occasionally creating very funny scenes with it.
  So, I do recommend it, but not if you just read another sad book and are in search of something lighter, like I was ;)

  Una piccola saga familiare resa in modo divertente, che ha il pregio di trattare un tema solitamente lontano dalle cronache.

  It's worth it! Never mind if it's funny or not. It's likeable.

  Maybe not as funny as I expected, but I enjoyed it very much.
