Deze dikke thriller geeft een uitgebreid beeld van het leven de hoofdpersonages. Soms zelf iets te breed. Het verhaal is erg uitgebreid, maar hierdoor raakte ik soms de draad kwijt. Ik had het gevoel dat een hele hoop informatie overbodig was. Het concept van dit verhaal is wel heel uniek. De manier hoe kunst hier wordt beschreven en verwerkt vond ik erg mooi. De schrijfstijl is ondanks dat het erg uitgebreid is wel goed en duidelijk. Het leest vlot weg en ik had geen moeite om dingen te begrijpen. Ik vond het sterk dat op het einde heel veel dingen logisch werden. De puzzelstukjes vielen voor mij op zijn plek. Stiekem had ik gehoopt op een goed einde voor twee van karakter, eventueel een kleine liefde🫣. 

Het boek bevat ook een aantal duistere onderwerpen, dus ik denk dat je je hier wel goed van bewust moet zijn.

I liked it overall but it was very long winded.  We could have shortened the middle.

I have intense and mixed feelings about this. 

Did I like it? No. 
Was it well executed? Yes. 

TLDR: “The Lovely Bones” if it was a very southern feeling coming of age novel- except of his whole ass life- and the story of navigating purpose and relationships with wild CPTSD.
