minnavsd's review against another edition

5.0

Unfortunately, the ending of this books was ruined by one of my friends who did an unthought comment about it. I am always against any kind of comment about books, especially mystery ones, because something that wasn't important to you can help you crack the whole thing. Hence why my review here will be: very good.

Can’t really explain without spoilers.

I hate an unreliable narrator. So, my personal enjoyment of this is a much lower rating than it probably deserves.

Technically, it is well crafted and should be a 4 or higher. A reread would probably increase my rating. But I just hate a twist like this one has, and it had me rolling my eyes that this is that kind of book.

It’s quite unfair to the book, unfortunately. Because that sort of twist was new and fresh when it was written. But I still don’t enjoy it ending that way.
