It became enough when he started explaining his pedophilia three chapters in.
Jag tycker sämre om Gregorius i den här romanen än vad jag gjorde i Doktor Glas.
Det är en väldigt bra skriven bok men det känns inte alls som att den beskriver samma händelseförlopp som i Doktor Glas, språket är annorlunda och karaktärerna känns som helt andra personer. Hade det varit en fristående roman hade jag gett den 4 stjärnor men nu får den bara 3.
Gregorius är väldigt Humbert Humbert. Vill du läsa om karaktärerna så läs istället Doktor Glas, vill du läsa om en äcklig pedofil så läs istället Lolita. För mig är den här boken bara en lite sämre version av dem.

I initially liked the idea behind this novel. Gregorius is a little bit too naive and too one-dimensional to be a realistic character in Söderberg's novel, Doktor Glas.
That being said, I just didn't like Ohlsson's interpretation of Gregorius' side of the story. I found some things too far-fetched, such as. I just didn't think it had needed all that.
Other than that, this novel is written in the same style as your average fan fiction, which I am in no way a fan of: first-person narrative in present tense. I simply can't help not finding it stylish. Because of this, Gregorius is in no way as beautifully written as Doktor Glas. Writing a book like this will always lead to comparisons, and to me, Doktor Glas is the undoubted winner.
