好久没读书这么快了，太吸引人了，如果不是我中途忍不住手贱看剧透，我还能获得更多乐趣555

这本真的很适合改编成电影或电视剧，不比沙丘或灾星异变好看吗！

即使我现在有很多时间需要打发，这本书也实在是过于庸俗和无聊了。除去谜底的Pissing Contest讥嘲和终章对愚民略带悲悯的讽刺以外，这本书就只剩下了对父权、皇权和食女制度等老封建古董不加思索的推崇。有时候感觉这类男作者真的很无聊，不过译本语言不错。
好喜欢o(｀ω´ )o许多篇章可以单独拿出来当作短篇来看，合起来看整体又有新的意义。虽然每一章都一直在提供新的信息，但是直到最后一章之前都还在保持最终的悬念😌 很好的阅读体验，非常棒棒！满分推荐！（希望将来有足够的德语能力去读原文🙈）
