Il romanzo è scritto in prima persona, e il protagonista svela la vicenda a se stesso e al lettore man mano che i ricordi affiorano alla memoria. È impossibile raccontare la trama senza fare spoiler; vi basti sapere che Yu-jin - il protagonista, appunto - viene svegliato una mattina dall'odore del sangue, e trova il cadavere di sua madre in cucina.
Uniche pecche di questa narrazione, lo stile dell'autrice, basico e piuttosto piatto, e l'uso delle volgarità/insulti molto banale (tuttavia questo potrebbe essere dovuto alla traduzione, più che a un'effettiva pecca stilistica). Per il resto, la storia di Yu-jin fa correre gli occhi sulla pagina fino a lasciare senza fiato. Una lettura assolutamente consigliata a chi ami il thriller, specie di stampo psicologico.

This was sooo entertaining!!! Love psychological horror(?) mysteries and this one really made me theorize and think. I read this with a book club so the discussions definitely made the book better, we got to theorize a lot. One thing that I found really lazy though is that the author introduced some plot points and important background information in a very uncreative way... idk I just didn't like that some information was just told to us instead of shown to us if that makes sense. I also did not like the ending that much, it was very unsatisfying which could have been the point, but I did not enjoy that

Hmmmm, to be honest, I wouldn't say I fully enjoyed the book
Gue nggak bisa bilang juga kalau misalnya gue nggak suka bukunya, it's a good book. Jujur gue juga bingung kenapa gue nggak terlalu sreg sama bukunya. Kalau dibilang it's not my cup of tea, nggak banget. Bahkan temen gue yang rekomendasiin bilang buku nya tipe buku yang bakal gue suka. Mungkin dari bahasanya, terutama karena buku ini terjemahan.
Gue suka sama alurnya.
It was a good book, I enjoyed it. Hebat karena [a: You-Jeong Jeong|14170512|You-Jeong Jeong|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1585523710p2/14170512.jpg] bener bener nyangkut pautin hal psikologis sebagai latar belakang dengan sesuatu yang.. bisa dibilang kejam/keji. Perasaan gue naik turun, entah gue harus merasa gimana ke si Yujin ini. Diawal gue merasa, wah apa bener bisa kayak gini? Karena gue nggak kepikiran apa beneran manusia bisa segitunya.

Sudut pandang dibuku ini Yu-jin, si tokoh utama. Dari awal, udah dijelasin bahwa si Yu-jin ini punya epilepsi. Tapi semakin lama semakin diragukan lah si epilepsi ini, beneran punya apa kagak. Disini karakter Yu-jin bener bener dijelasin kayak gimana, gue merasa Yu-jin ini bener bener rumit sifatnya. Menurut gue sih, nggak ada yang paham sama Yu-jin dan Yu-jin nggak merasa itu masalah besar. Kalau jaman sekarang bahasanya identity crisis, tapi kalau si Yu-jin ini parah banget. Diawal gue nggak expect si Yu-jin bakal sebrutal itu, ngebunuh orang sebanyak itu ditambah lagi dia nggak sadar dan nggak punya perasaan bersalah lah ya. Gue suka hubungan kakak-beradik si Yujin dan kakak angkatnya. Mau yang angkat atau yang kandung bener bener punya sifat yang berbanding terbalik sama Yujin, ditambah lagi dua-duanya meninggal dengan cara yang cukup mengenaskan. Ending nya.. Seakan akan bilang kalau misalnya, memang Yujin itu unbeatable. Tidak terkalahkan.It was a good book, I enjoyed it.
