The Possession of Mr Cave by Matt Haig

divroyalty's review against another edition

So so dark. An absolutely thrilling read though I couldn't really put it down and finished it in a few hours. The first person narrative does get tiring after a while though but the content is too addictive to give up.

An manchen Stellen schwer zu verfolgen, vielleicht, weil es als Hörbuch gehört wurde.
Ansonsten werde ich das Gefühl nicht los, dass der Vater seine Tochter auch körperlich begehrt und das ist durchaus verstörend. Die Taten sind nur bedingt nachvollziehbar. Aber vom Ablauf her ein Drama, wie es im Buche steht, Schicksalsschläge, Liebe und unglückliche Zufälle führen zum unausweichlichen Ende.

This isn’t my cup of tea. It was really dark and the writing style was quite... poncey.

It’s, essentially, Shakespeare fan-fiction. It was an easy read and the story pacing was well done but I didn’t like it.

Absorbing and repellent at the same time. Ack what a book. Terrance Cave dominates the tragic narrative as he possesses and is possessed by his unravelling life.
