(Known as My Brilliant Friend in English)
This was a bit outside my usual comfort zone. It was one of those books that I'd probably never finish on paper, because the pacing is a bit slow and the prose verbose; but I can listen to audio on a faster speed than I can read, so it balances out a little bit.

So that's the reason I'm not giving it 4 stars. But I like how the books explores its themes; of friendly rivalry and of talents squandered or nurtured. And the ending was excellent. I think I will be continuing with the series.
