Jag tyckte den svenska översättningen var ganska dålig, det var en del ord som jag inte tror existerar och tycker att översättningen hade dåligt flyt, speciellt i början. Det är det som tar ner betyget, handlingen är spännande

My brain hurt reading this one. So many characters and ingenuities but the ending fell flat in my opinion

This book is weird and convoluted. Its far too dense to keep up with. For 8 days the day plays out the same way but the main character Aiden is transported through 8 different people and perspectives. His job is to find out who killed Evelyn Hardcastle so he can go "home"to a life he doesn't remember. It’s too confusing and has way too many plot lines to keep up with. No characters to attach to. Plus it’s boring somehow.
