3.69 AVERAGE


Esse livro é bem mais que interessante, eu achei que ficaria mais “chocada”com o que tinha acontecido, mas acho que lá no fundo eu estava esperando.
Custou pra mim acreditar que ele tinha matado o próprio irmão e isso sim me custou acreditar. A leitura flui muito bem, com detalhes precisos e um sentimento de curiosidade e agonia ficam lado a lado, gostei de ter tido essa experiência.

I was enjoying reading this book yet i need therapy after finished it. It is so dark to read a murder book from the murderer's POV.

"The smell of blood woke me up."

So begin’s You-Jeong Jeong’s The Good Son, a locked room mystery that morphs into something much more dark and sinister.

It tells the story of a 25-year-old man who wakes up to discover his mother dead on the kitchen floor, a deep wound in her neck and blood everywhere, including on his own hands and clothes. But did he kill her? He has no memory of the night before because he has stopped taking his epilepsy medication and that often results in massive headaches and blackouts. There is no sign of forced entry, so if he didn’t kill her, who did?

Structured in four parts, all narrated by the son, the story charts Yu-Jin’s life living under a semi-lockdown with an over-protective mother. As the narrative progresses it gets increasingly more unhinged and abhorrent. I do, in fact, wonder why I bothered to read it. But it did have some good points:

This was an absolute bananas book and I didn't expect a lot of it. Yu-Jin is an engaging narrator but an absolute psychopath. It's dark, has a lot of twists, and keeps you interested throughout the whole story. If you're into thrillers then I would recommend this one for sure.
