Central Park

Guillaume Musso

3.63 AVERAGE


Inspiring, strong and magical! Musso is a real magician - nothing is what it seems - the black is white, the right is wrong and the order is in fact a beautiful chaos.

I love his style of writing - it's so easy to comprehend. It's like I'm reading my own thoughts, not someone else's words.
His characters are deep and believable. They have their scars, their past and most important - a future to fight for. They are strong and weak, funny and serious, bad and good. Musso can create a perfectly balanced character, because he knows that nobody's perfect!

The pace is another thing I enjoy in his books - everything is well served, especially the mystery and the thriller. It does not feel heavy and it surely is not transparent. You think you know what's coming, but you have never been so wrong, because Musso likes to turn the things upside down and leave you speechless.

The best part of Central Park (and his other works too) is the strenght and realism it gives - yes, there is pain in this world; bad people do bad things and everyone has problems that seem unsolved, but the thing is that there is always a way to achieve happiness and I think that is what Musso is trying to tell us with his book - never give up, because you don't know the good things that the future holds for you!

Weird, quirky, confusing, poetic.

This isn’t a book I absolutely loved. It wasn’t a book that I couldn’t put down; but it was easy to read and quick. Usually I hate flashbacks and while I didn’t love them in this book, they didn’t bother me much. I felt very “inside” Alice’s head and I felt myself remembering the past. A good read if you are in the mood for something a little different.

Scritto in modo sconclusionato, protagonista insopportabile

the plot twists were great and the ending was unexpected, but I would've enjoyed it more if at the very end her choice would've been made because of different reasons (iykyk)
