A review by raysberry
Corpus Delicti. Ein Prozess by Juli Zeh

2.5

Very much meh. Had to read it for school and it wasn’t BAD but it also was far from great. If it wasn’t for school I would’ve DNFed it, no questions asked. The characters are cardboard cutouts and the author basically beats you with her message over and over until every last one of her readers understands that—SHOCKER—this system is BAD.

It’s kind of exhausting to read, the redeeming qualities being Kramer and some of the interactions. I like him well enough, much more than any other character.

The twist regarding
Moritz’s innocence was also pretty okay, though there are some logistical qualms to be had.


All in all an okay read for school but it’s pretty obvious the author wants to lecture her readers on what to take away from the book and also on real life issues which I don’t appreciate.
