Things just keep getting
weirder and weirder in this book. Now that the twist had been revealed, that
Sophie is potentially just a character in a book created for Hilde, I don’t
know what to think. After investing all this time in the book, I want to
believe that she’s more than a character and that somehow her and Alberto are
real people truly being manipulated by Hilde’s father. However, I realize that
that concept could be even crazier than the concept of them being characters in
a story, I wonder how they could been strung along this much by someone in
another part of the world, someone neither of them have met before. I have the
strange feeling that things are only going to get weirder as time goes on. The
sense of urgency suddenly imparted on their lessons almost makes me a bit
nervous when I read, it seems like Alberto can’t get through the philosophy
course fast enough at this point.
Hilde’s confusion is shared
by me, and likely most of the other readers. I can’t imagine why her father
decided this was the best way to wish her a happy birthday, it seems awfully
complex and a little bit strange to me. It feels eerie, as if there has to be
some underlying meaning that we’re still missing. I know there’s plenty left in
the story to fill the gaps in my knowledge, but I wish I could have all the
answers now, and put my mind at rest. Overall, something just feels a bit “off”
with the entire story.
