State of Wonder

Ein wundervoller Abenteuerroman mit weiblichen Hauptfiguren, der mich tief in das Amazonasgebiet entführt hat. Ja, er ist ein wenig klischeehaft und ja, es gibt Teile, die der Geschichte eher schaden, als ihr zu helfen. Dennoch vermag die Autorin eine spannende und "dichte" Atmosphäre zu verschaffen. Allein das Auflösen eines Handlungsstranges am Ende des Buches fand ich wenig überzeugend und auch etwas weit hergeholt, doch der Rest war durchaus nachvollziehbar und stimmig. Eine tolle Lektüre für lange Sommerabende!

I really enjoyed reading this but i couldn't decide how many stars to give this book. It's a bit hard to rate.I really read through this fast and loved reading it and had some 'moments' in between. On the other hand i could not put this book in a category (i don't know, that might not really be a bad things) and i am not sure about the ending/climax. Though i was satisfied when i read it, the longer i think about it, the more i wanted to know, the more open the ending felt. All in all though i decided on four stars because of the overall fun i had while reading.

I actually enjoyed reading this story even though the main character Marina, in my opinion, remained a bit plain and flat during the whole story. What really disappointed me was the ending though - it came very sudden and left me with so many questions...
