The Marco Effect by Jussi Adler-Olsen
3.0
this book is a little too neatly packaged. is mr Adler Olsen writing for the screen now?
I liked the focus of the book on the immigration and child exploration issues. the mystery was less of a mystery and more- how will Marco survive.
the African child soldiers component was unnecessary. did nothing for the story.
it seems in this book that every relationship, that in the first few books were very interesting, have settled into a cliche of themselves.
Carl's whiny longing for Mona really annoyed, and also served no purpose.
but this was really questionable- the main character in this story, the bright young Marco, who is really smart and tech savvy- who goes online daily- could he not have found out that as a minor he could have easily seek and receive asylum? of course, that will mean there will be no premiss for the book............
