Blood on Snow

Jo Nesbø

3.34 AVERAGE


Meh. Didn't hate it, but almost. Didn't like the characters, the story was ok. Didn't care for the jumping around between present and stuff he'd done in the past. Would have been ok in a longer book, but for such a short book it just made the main part of the story not be much of the book. MCs were unlikable and there was stupid insta-love.

3.5: surprised me! i didn’t think much of this book when i started it, but it ended up getting me hooked and having wonderful plotwists. a good and short read.

tw: rape, assault, and ableism

Boring, the story was very simple. Not at all what I expected of Nesbo

Я бы не назвал это детективом - никакого расследования нет и в помине.
Я бы не назвал это триллером - уж больно медленно и предсказуемо развиваются события.
Сюжет вообще не выдерживает никакой критики - все банально знакомо.
И лишь характеры двоих героев спасают книгу настолько, что я поставил ей "четверку"

This was written from the perspective of a bad guy, and I felt the whole book to be improbable. The ending was a bit redeeming, however.
