At times bleak, I enjoyed this collection of stories. The first part of the book is based on Jealously (some of the ones in Power also are about jealousy tho), and is the strongest part. There are a few stories that are dystopian breakdown of society and how people have to survive. The writing is excellent and I love when I learn something new, like in this case: rock climbing, Pamplona, and Botswana. His books can be very dark, but this one doesn't get as graphic as some of his novels, which I like. Would recommend, but if you're looking for an easy read, this is not it, the book is very dense, and each story required A LOT of thinking.

I was afraid his writing wouldn’t hit the same since my taste in reading has changed quite a bit since last picking up one of his books, but I worried over nothing. It still hit exactly how it used to and I couldn’t be happier. Accessible and not too deep while still giving you something to think about.

Wenn man versteht, dass das Kurzgeschichten sind, und man nicht mehr wartet, zu erfahren, was denn jetzt mit den Protagonisten aus der ersten Geschichte passiert ist, ist es echt gut :)

Μικρες καθημερινές ιστορίες σχετικά με το πάθος, την ζήλια και τον θάνατο ή μάλλον με τον φόνο. Ιστορίες που θα μπορούσαμε να διαβάσουμε ή να δούμε σε διάφορα μέσα.
Καλογραμμένες ιστορίες που διαβάζονται εύκολα και γρήγορα. Ωραίο ανάγνωσμα το ευχαριστήθηκα

The Jealousy Man is a collection of short stories by Jo Nesbo. I don't usually prefer short stories as I feel like I don't get enough information before they're cut short, however I was gripped and each story stood out on it's own so I flew through the book but I was particularly intrigued by the slightly dystopian novel (with a hint of a pandemic). I would recommend to fans of Nesbo but also crime/thriller fans as this was a fantastic read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review
