La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert by Joël Dicker
3.0
Most of the characters in this book are quite likeable. I particularly enjoyed Marcus and Harry. The twists and turns of the first half were great.
Nola, the “love” character was consistently rather unlikeable for me. No matter what Dicker wrote, I wasn’t sold on her features and character.
The repetition and copy-pasting of text fragments over and over was boresome. In the end I just skipped the whole thing.
Then, after the second half, the whole thing went down the gutter. The way the story was being solved, and the twists and turns added to it were so fake, so cinematic it just turned the book into a cheap plot.
The willingness of the police to share all with the writer... what sort of stupid idea is that? Did the writer read The Shack before this?
In summary, it was pretty bad in parts and pretty good in others, so it evens out in a 3.
I sure as hell won’t be recommending this book if asked.
