mai2725 's review for:
Nine Lives
by Peter Swanson
Paradoxical
I felt bad for the death of that nurse, he seemed like a good person, but the night he died he seemed to be in peace with his inner self and with the world and it really sounded like a good day to die. And I was happy to see him die in a painless way.
Jessica was quite the ride, the way she ran away and then figured that she was being followed. At some point I forgot what was happening and I was rooting for the killer to find her, then I remembered what was happening, that's when I realized how good the writer was.
I didn't really like that Jay person, he represents everything ugly about the humankind. This person's character is just tedious and disgusting and NGL I was low key excited for his death. And the writer delivered with this one. He deserved what happened to him.
There was a part in the book about this creepy person who called Jay. When I read it, I felt a strong sense of déjà vu. I thought to myself, 'I've read this somewhere else before.' It felt so familiar that I questioned whether I had actually read the book previously or not.
Then I remembered that I had read a very similar passage in the writer's other book, 'Before She Knew Him.' It was almost identical to the script featuring the lunatic Richard. That feeling of recognition was incredibly satisfying. I actually had to run to my library and search for it, and I was satisfied when I found it.
I know that some people might not be really into that, but this kind of familiarity just makes me feel a bit closer to the writer's mindset and makes more attached to the book.
One of the things that I really liked as well was the way the killer divided his victims, so if you were a good person, you'll die in peaceful way, but if you were a bad person, they'll make sure that you'll suffer.
I'm still not sure why the writer is so obsessed with the idea of killing some people because they're either a trashy humans or it's just a way to create balance in the world.
Although I get the idea behind the list that was created in this book, but I still believe that it was rather unfair to kill the innocent and leave those who actually committed the crime. If you're trying to create balance in a random world, then you shouldn't have acted randomly.
The book was written in a very clever way. The plot twist was reasonable. I just kinda miss the wow factor. But overall I enjoyed reading it.
