It's very pleasant to read your positive feedback, but for me, the fact remains that what was written fell far short of what I wanted. I wanted it to be something that would really grab you, something you'd read and immediately feel immersed in the country or some other concept, but not just from halfway through a paragraph.
I think the problem lies in the fact that I haven't read much in recent years, and what I have read has been in English.
Anyway, I don't think Gerich, Vistritka, or Loken would have had such difficulties when conducting experiments.
