The Exception by Christian Jungersen
4.0
I really enjoyed this novel from Christian Jungersen. Although it's not nearly as good and is also (in some ways) nothing like Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, it also does remind me of that series. Here's why: The Danish culture as portrayed in this novel is similar to Swedish culture, the principal characters are all strong women, the principal characters work in the field of human rights, there's a high tech element, and it's a thriller. I found that the writing constantly surprised me: I absolutely could not predict what the characters would do, and even their conversation was so un-American . . . it was very refreshing.
Okay, here's where you should stop reading this review if you want to avoid spoilers.

After reading this novel, I am left with lots of questions. Did Iben really kill Rasmus? Why did Malene distract Mirko Zigic thus causing him to kill her rather than Iben? Was Malene's explanation of how Zigic came to learn of the existence of the emails plausible? Why did Zigic think Iben was Malene? Do you believe DID is as common as Grith and Iben seem to believe? Did Iben suffer from DID? Did Malene? Clearly, I miss being part of a book group. Share your responses if you've read this book.
