The Snowman by Jo Nesbø
slow-paced
1.0
A year or so back, one of my neighbours had books thrown out onto the curb, so I did what any book worm does and saved the books.
Up until this book, i didn't know the snowman was a movie and haven't seen it. Maybe this book can convince me.
The story is set between the 90s and early 2000s, in Norway where woman suddenly disappeared. Thought of the course of 30 odd years, they've had stacks of missing persons cause but none that turned into a serial killer realisation.
The first 92 pages are okay. In my defence I started reading this at 5.30am after just under 5hrs sleep and on my way to the airport. So my mind wasn't in the mood to hold attention.
Even though my brain wasn't in the mood to brain. It was a bit of a struggle for me to understand the time jumps and shift of POVs for each scene.
I kept trying to work my way through this story but I struggled a lot. The scene changes confused me from having a convo on the phone to suddenly touching each other in a room. The character descriptions almost felt too vague to try to follow who was who.
Even as the true killer was revealed, using the childhood/back story felt confusing to read.
I lost track of each character and as I continued the male characters all sounded similar to each other.
