A review by nickirie
Der Beobachter by Charlotte Link

Did not finish book.

Dnf'ed at page 150. I'm a third through the book and nothing fucking happened. There's multiple povs from completely unrelated characters and time points and most of them are by Samson, which I guess is the implied protagonist of the book and "the watcher". If he's also the killer that's being talked about in the book I don't know and at this point I really don't care enough to find out. There's a reason why I usually only read books with a female protagonist and this one (like Catcher in the Rye) supported me in that decision. He's a whiny incel who yaps on about how bad his life is and how no woman wants him all while doing nothing about his situation and instead just using his ugly, awkward, unemployed ass to be a fucking mega-creep towards women and committing crimes in the hope it will get him laid. That's not how life works you weirdo! No, thank you!
