π§ My thoughts
It's a bit painful to give this book 3.5 stars. When I saw this book and read its description, I thought I would have given it at least 4 stars. The book started very promising. It was full of mystery and a bit humorous to read but fell flat from the middle of the book. I didn't know why it dragged so badly for me. Helsinki is a very familiar place to me, it's such a small city that every place mentioned in the book gave me nostalgia. Still, I dragged myself through the book.
I couldn't wait to read more about this nerdy main character, it was interesting for me to know more about him. If you read until the end of the book there was a chapter that included the sources the author used to research to build up the details for this book. This proved that the author did his research and he didn't write everything totally from his imagination. However, I was disappointed to see that the main character seemed to be too stereotypical, and from the middle until the end of the book, he lost his personality. I understood the point the author wanted to indicate there but he lost so much personality that I felt like it was not convincing for me anymore.
I felt like the book was pretty short and the author tried to focus on too many things so everything was not good enough.
π What I like
- The author did his research
- It was a bit funny to read
π What I don't like
- Weak plot
- The author tries to focus on too many things and everything is not good enough
- The main character's personality is not consistent
Isn't this book supposed to be mysterious and thrilling? I did feel the mystery and thrilling factors but then the romance kind of took over. There's nothing wrong about the romance, it was cute and nice to read but I think it was too much of this romance that the book kind of lost the main theme.
