Muito previsível, já se esperava o que acabou por acontecer (mesmo o final que devia ser um twist inesperado...).
Vai com quase toda a certeza ter continuação e muito provavelmente vou ler.

E como, mas como é que a Faye não viu que o David a estava a enganar? Era o típico, eu quero separar-me mas ela não deixa de TODAS as novelas deste mundo!
Wiele opinii na temat tej książki, wiele zróżnicowanych.
A ja powiem tak - nie jest to Camilla z serii o Fjallbace, ale jest to nowa Camilla i nie mogę powiedzieć, że mi się nie podoba.
Jest to druga część cyklu Faye. Pierwszą przeczytałam szybko i tak samo było z tą, wciągnęłam się i to bardzo. Bałam się tego co będzie, po recenzjach, ale na szczęście nie było AŻ tak źle :) było super, z lekkim napięciem i ciekawością.
NIe zabrakło też typowych dla Lackberg przejść do przeszłości :)
Muszę przyznać, że David od początku mi nie pasował. Byłam ciekawa co będzie z Jackiem. Ale to jak się skończyło sprawia, że serio nie mogę się doczekać kolejnej części!
Większość książki zastanawiałam się co ona wymyśli, co znowu knuje, jak się potoczy ta akcja. A to właśnie w książkach lubię.
No i super, że została pokazana siła i jedność kobiet. Bo tak naprawdę nawet jak jest źle to potrafimy się dogadać :)

Non è finita qua, nel senso che mi pare ovvio che ci sarà almeno una terza puntata. Sono curioso dunque di vedere cosa combinerà Faye e cosa combineranno a lei. Ma sono anche abbastanza curioso di vedere se Camilla Läckberg si inventerà un nuovo schema narrativo.
Nei primi due le cose si sono ripetute in modo abbastanza metodico: maschi oppressivi, protagoniste che si riprendono la propria vita liberandosi dai suddetti maschi, un po' di lusso, sesso - più spinto nel secondo volume che nel primo - momenti di difficoltà e sconforto, scontri, morti. Sinora questo schema l'ho trovato piacevole, una terza volta, forse, mi annoierebbe.

ouf c'est bien beau le message féministe, mais il faut que l'histoire soit intéressante. Hyper prévisible, personnages désagréables. Incroyable que ce soit la même autrice que la série Erica Falck et Patrik Hedström.
After being blown away by The Stonecutter, I was expecting so much more from this. Instead of complex characters and layered plot lines, I got a gratuitous monologue full of predictable cliches and self-indulgent caricatures. Did I become a better reader in the last several years? Was this just a miss for Lackberg? I feel so betrayed.

What an appallingly awful, ridiculous book, one of the worst I’ve ever read. I wish I could give it a negative 5-star review.
First of all, the protagonist is a psychopathic serial killer for whom I quickly lost any sense of compassion or sympathy. Although her abusers perpetrated horrific atrocities against her, that simply does not justify her extreme vigilantism. They abused her, but she killed them; that makes her far worse than they are in my books.
Then there’s the ridiculous implausibility of this book. Let’s start with the absurd name for her company: Revenge. Good grief! How offputting for consumers. I would never purchase anything from a company calling itself Revenge. It’s absurd and distasteful.
And then there’s the fact that, although she eats like a sumo wrestler and never once goes for a run or hits the gym, she is lithe, gorgeous and irresistible to men. And so are her girlfriend partners in crime.
Add to this that she is so enraged against the men who harmed her, yet she is somehow magnanimous towards all the women who wronged her and not only forgives them, but also she recruits them to partner up with her in order to carry out her revenge scheme. It just doesn’t add up with her ruthless character.
And that brings up another implausible aspect to this book: every single male person she has ever encountered in her life has harmed her. Sorry, I just don’t buy it that every man she’s ever met is an awful abuser.
I could go on, but I’ll stop here. I think I’ve made my point that I thought this was an awful, ridiculous book and a complete waste of my time.
