What an amazing and twisted read, it keep me passing pages till the end!
I’ll try to make a review with no spoilers, but be advised that it will not be easy, there are so many twists and mysteries on this story that a little detail can spoil the full story!
This story is told by Jamal, a man who will try to save a woman from committing suicide but he ends up being the first suspect of killing her. Twisted? Oh yes, but so original plotted and with tricks to make the reader confuse of what to believe and who can we trust. Because Jamal says that he is innocent, but everything points to him, this killing and another one from 10 years ago. Is he a serial killer and a rapist? Of course you’ll have to read the book if you want to know all the answers!
I am not sure what I liked most of this book, the story or how the author ended the story, because when a book is good it is really difficult to make a good ending, but this one was twisted and unexpected. The story was full of layers and cryptic messages hidden on the plot, it was like an escape room but inside the book; there are a lot of hints to make you guess the truth, but possibly you’ll not see them until it is too late.
This is a book I’ll recommend to anyone who wants to have a good time and want to think a little while they are reading, the book is a must read and if you follow my advice this will not be the last book you’ll read from this author. I’ll admit that I am already searching for his past books (maybe I’ll practice my french and try to read them!)
Never Forget is a book it will be difficult to forget! Ready?

Ég hef mjög gaman af bókum Bussi og þessi var ágæt þótt hún væri ekki með þeim bestu. Kannski er það að hluta til af því að aðalpersónan er engan veginn sympatísk og eiginlega bara skíthæll. En ég sá þetta plott ekki fyrir og ég er yfirleitt ánægð með bækur þegar höfundur nær að koma mér á óvart. Plottið þarna er reyndar ekki alveg sannfærandi en heldur ekkert óhugsandi.

I found this a bit slow to get into. But stick with it. It gets interesting. I kind of guessed who might have been guiltily but not any of the details. Quite a clever storyline, despite its slow start. I really liked the ending, a nice little touch.

I didn't like this book, and I'm not sure why exactly. I was looking for a plot twisty sort of thriller and this was supposed to be one. Maybe it was hard to read because I didn't like the main character/narrator. Anyway I had to force myself to finish it, just wasn't for me.
