My Book Reviews

I think this one is one of the best Jo Nesbo has written. It's far better than any of the Harry Hole episodes. I do have the feeling the book could have been a bit shorter than the 647 pages it is now. Maybe it is good for some people to have things double explained, for me the book could have been speeded up a bit. For the rest I can only admire Jo Nesbo for the excellend way he constructed this novel. It is tempting to tell a bit about the story, but I don't want to risk spoiling it for future readers. It certainly is good value for your money and a joy to read. I gave it 4 stars.

  Just like the other book about Chief Inspector Gorski, The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau. I loved it. Macrae Burnet has a clever way of writing. He proves that you don't need long constructed sentences to describe people, things and places. The way he describes the thoughts and feelings of one of the main characters, Raymond Barthelme, is amazing. I think the mind of a teenage boy does work like that. The novel is packed as a novel into another story. It is puzzling and it does make you want to explore facts yourself. For the main story, the novel, it's not really needed but it does give it a special ring. All in all a book I certainly can recommend.
