This was such a big disappointment. I remember seeing this book in a bookstore for the first time during a visit in Istanbul. That time I didn't buy it, but I spent a long time trying to remember the title and author. I only remembered the general idea as it was described in the blurb.

Not recommended, despite the promising idea.… (meer)
