The Snowman by Jo Nesbø
3.0
Pffffff I’m still trying to understand how I feel about this book. It’s clearly written by a man and seems like it would appeal more to men. It’s one of the reasons that I partially hate it. I hate the full descriptions of cars, I hate the depiction of women, and I mostly hate the killer’s justification which is basically my least favorite MO in existence. I’m just so bored of it and it constantly reminds me that society hates women.
That all said, even with some questionable actions and lapse of logic, the weaving of the story was complex and interesting. The ending was exciting and the killer took me by surprise. I’m sure there are some Easter eggs I missed as I haven’t read any of the other books in the series. I originally thought I’d rate the book 2 stars but then there was a slight redemption at the end of a misogynistic theme in the book which made me happy to see.
