Troublant, dérangeant, violent, perturbant, Dirty Week-end ne laisse pas indifférent par la cruauté de ses propos et de sa vision.

A la fin du livre, vous détesterez encore plus les hommes si vous ne les haïssez pas déjà. Quel exploit !

Une énorme claque pour une lecture qui me sort totalement de ma zone de confort.

[ TW : violence, viol, agression sexuel, sang, meurtres]

Normaal lees ik engelse boeken in het engels, maar 'k kwam er verdikke pas achter na aanschaffing! Geen erg, het hinderde niet. 

Een vluchtige thrill-ride over een dame die besluit terug te vechten tegen alle soorten vadsige ventjes die hunzelf onaantastbaar peinzen. Sorry mijn koelbloedige makkers, je hebt met de verkeerde gesolt. 

Geen literair hoogstandje, maar wie boeit het ene kneit? Mij niet. Niet alles moet een Sartre of Celine wezen. Moge je hand ver reiken, goede genoeg ervan hebbende Bella. 

Au revoir.

Intense revenge fantasy. More powerful than it is good. I'm not mad I read it.

A fast, involving read. Salacious. Funny. Gory. A feminist Death Wish or Jim Thompson novel. The author has a knack of putting you right into the heads of these off-balance characters. Justice done; demons exorcised.

A stunning debut and perfectly fitting book to end 2017 - the year of #metoo

Pure awesome. I think every woman has wanted to be this woman at some point, in her darkest place.
