ku2buku 's review for:
The Snowman
by Jo Nesbø
Okay, first off, this thriller is insanely hard to put down. I had a few guesses about who the real culprit was and I guessed right when I got to 20% of the book. The first thought that occurred to me was, "Really?"
***SPOILERS***
I was disappointed when I had correctly guessed who The Snowman was. And to be honest, it made me think that the author was trying too hard to make the real culprit someone the reader wasn't expecting at all. And the writer kinda put him in the background for so long, hardly appearing throughout the book at all, it kind of made me think that the author's even trying to make the reader forget about him, so the reveal would be extremely jarring.
The thing that I liked most about the author is how cleverly he described the murder scenes, without putting in a lot of disgusting, gruesome detail - he leaves just enough to allow the readers' imaginations to roam, which makes the murders even more horrifying.
