This book was sad the sake of being sad. I’ve never had a book take so much from me while reading and not in a good way. Adding a star because I liked the ending well enough.

All the Colors of the Dark is not just a book.. it's one hell of an experience! From the gut-wrenching opening chapter, it held me captive. All the raw emotions tore me apart piece by piece until the very end. It's a true masterpiece of devastating beauty.💔🍺🍺🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨

P.S. 
Movie adaptation pleeeaaaaassseee🤞🏻🥂✨✨

I wasn't sure at the start, and good golly it's long, but I sat reading the final third of the book barely breathing until the end I was so completely caught up in these characters...even when they didn't make sense (Tooms?) I was so fully committed to them that I just wanted to see what else would unravel.
It's dark and difficult subject-wise, and wordy, but I thought it was great.

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.
