jwmcoaching 's review for:
The Son
by Jo Nesbø
Did Not Finish.
I really hate to give up on yet another book, but I didn't anything very entertaining here. I read nearly 1/3 of it and it's certainly readable and isn't bad, it's just not very good either. This is my fourth Nesbo (I've liked one and thought the other two were okay) and I feel like there's something about his writing that just doesn't translate very well. I think it has to do with the way he phrases things. It's just awkward at times. This one was particularly disappointing because the reviews were so stellar, too.
