Horrifically dark and miserable book that shows you how easy it can be to mould a child into something cruel and heartless, how easy it is to groom a young mind to do your bidding in the name of their own honour and your want for a better life for them-- what would the child know? a child trusts their elders as theyre taught to. Horrible scary story mainly because the scariest part is the realism underpinning the hatred of his mother

Yaşar Kemal, seni okumak o kadar keyifli ki anlatamam. Kısacık bir kitap ama toplum baskısını öyle güzel işlemiş ki okurken sizi bile afakanlar basıyor.

Super gut geschrieben, habe das durch einen Buchklub gelesen, hätte es sonst nie in meiner eigenen Freizeit angefasst, die Themen sind so erdrückend. Richtig köy kafa, das Leben könnte so friedlich sein aber nein die köylüs wollten köy kafa machen... Hat sich angefühlt wie ein Buch welches man in der Schule durchnehmen würde, da es die gesellschaftlichen Probleme sehr gut beschreibt und man Hasans Fall ins köy kafa bis zu seinem Bruchpunkt Schritt für Schritt miterleben und nachvollziehen kann. Er war einfach neun, er tut mir so Leid, und die Schuldfrage ist kaum zu beantworten in diesem Buch. Eigentlich sind 3.5 Sterne zu wenig, ich war schon investiert.

Yaşar Kemal pekala gelmiş geçmiş en iyi Türk yazar olabilir.

Kısacık bir kitap içinde hem bir dilin, hem bir bölgenin, hem insanların ve insanlık durumlarının böyle büyülü, diri, capcanlı barınmasından; Yaşar Kemal'in sanki bütün Türk yazınını şu kısacık kitabın içine yoğura yoğura, işleye biçimlendire sığdırmış olmasından yola çıkarak söylüyorum bunu.

Kitabın kapağını açıyorsunuz, üzerinize bütün bir kültür, bütün bir yazın, bütün bir sanat fışkırıyor.

cahilliğin ne denli kötülüklere yol açabileceğini karmaşık ama anlayınca güzel olan kurgusuyla güzel işliyor
