"Actually, I quite enjoyed some of the practical tips provided by the father, the only male blog writer in the novel. Some good ideas the chap has. Especially regarding recreational explosions. Right on! The mother isn’t bad either, though a tad too sentimental for my taste. But at least she’s got a good story to tell, about war in Africa. I learned quite a bit. It makes the reader appreciate the comfort of a cosy European living-room all the more. But those bloody daughters are absolutely annoying! No sense of direction, no motivation, no balls! It’s obviously a book about the generation gap. And I’d say the parents have won that battle by far."
