I can’t stand the fact that its an “insta love” with a 15-year-old girl and how the author justifies it
My dad recommended this one to me and absolutely loved it. Me? Not so much (but don't tell Dad).
First of all, whiny Nola really got on my nerves! Always swinging back and forth between total ecstasy and mental breakdowns. I felt like she was ALWAYS talking with exclamation points at the ends of her sentences. And I can't help but still feel like the relationship between her and Harry was kind of creepy. In the beginning she did seem like a pretty cool girl, but afterwards all she did was make sandwiches and cry or laugh. Not so interesting.
Furthermore, I'm annoyed that we didn't know what Marcus' book was about. And the cheesy writing tips were good sometimes but other times they were a bit too much. I mean, I love reading and writing but at some point, I don't know, you're just writing a book not revealing the secret to eternal life or whatever. If you like to write then just get to work and write a damn book instead of overthinking the whole thing and wasting your time coming up with those super "profound" tips, Harry.
So yeah, the story was interesting in the beginning and very intriguing, the writing was not bad either. I really liked Robert, he was pretty funny.
By the end, however, it was stretching on and on. Just get on with the mystery and stop telling me every detail about the characters' lives! I know those details sometimes had to do with the mystery but at other times it was just way too long for nothing.
Last of all, there were too many random twists near the end, it was getting confusing. "N'importe quoi."All of a sudden Nola has psychotic issues? What?? Where did that come from? She was normal whenever Harry met up with her...
I don't know, I didn't love it but I can see why some would like it, I guess.
Bonus: the author is hot. hahaha.

?O bom livro é aquele que lamentamos ter terminado.?
Sou incapaz de contar o tanto de reviravoltas, acontecimentos, incomodos, sensações que essa leitura provocou, principalmente em sua terceira parte.
A estrutura do livro é simplesmente seu grande trunfo. Flashbacks interessantes e dispostos na hora certa, com todos influenciando diretamente no plot e de forma alguma desnecessarios.
Personagens desenhados o suficiente pra te fazerem odiar todos e suspeitar de todos e ainda assim se surpreender com a resolução final.
Tudo é tão perfeitamente amarrado. Joel Dicker levanta bola pra tantas e tantas perguntas no decorrer do livro e faz questão de responder todas, o que traz uma sensação de satisfação tão incrivel ao finalizar a leitura.
Definitivamente acompanharei outros do autor. Que experiencia sensacional de thriller!!

L'autore davvero fenomenale nel tenerti attaccato al libro. Ho apprezzato un sacco la prima parte, stuzzicava molto la mia passione per i thriller. Ero stra gasata durante tutta la lettura, ma da dopo circa pagina 550 non so più cosa sia successo. Il finale non mi è piaciuto proprio, davvero scioccata, non me lo aspettavo, e stato davvero uno shook.
Tutto sommato un bel libro, scorre molto bene, di sicuro non mi pento di averlo letto.
Anche se, ecco, la scelta della differenza di età tra Nola e Harry mi turba un po'...
