If you could see my bookshelves (real bookshelf), Jo Nesbo is the first name you'd read. When I was on thriller binge, like two years ago, I heard about Nesbo and bought bunch of his books, all pretty lengthy, his name written with big fonts on the spine of the book. I've five books of him, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever read any of them. When i read Redbreast i thought it was pretty amazing even though I'd skimmed last few pages- I rated it four stars here because I thought I'd missed something and I'm the one to blame. I tried this novella, which is not a Harry Hole book, just to try out if there's a tiny hope that i can get into Nesbo, looks like that gate's closed.
Talking about this book, this is the sort of book I'm supposed to like. Dark, gritty, short length, short chapters, philosophical, character study, melancholic, written by middle aged man, and Nordic. But the hackneyed translation, or real bad writing, I can't say which for sure - spoiled it all. If you're looking for a Japanese version of something like this, you should try out Fuminori Nakamura.

Este 4 dimineața,eu am început cartea la 11 seara….Am citit-o într-o seară
Wasn't sure how I felt about the book while reading it, but the end is a beautiful jarring game changer.
