Stella De Jager

I am on page 102 and each page is a chore. The writing is wooden. The fact that the author is so lazy he can't be bothered to use gender neutral language is extremely grating. The worst thing is, is that the categories are just plain wrong. I cannot identify a single person in my life who is just one colour (thank God). To pigeon hole people is to ignore the richness and complexity of the human psyche and is not useful when trying to understand people. If that were the case All the driven, direct people (red) I know (I am one) are just arse holes. All the caring, relaxed (yellow) people are vacuous. All peacekeepers (green) are gormless. All the organised, structured people (blue) are control freaks. The book is reductive and counterintuitive at best. Poorly written and boring at worst.

Just beautiful. Evocative and heartfelt. This is a wonderful story about a man who follows his heart. Can't wait to read it again.
