holgerhaase 's review for:
The Snowman
by Jo Nesbø
The Harry Hole books were published in a certain order, then translated into English in another order and now gradually read by me in yet another order.
I like the fact that I don't need to religiously stick to a certain reading pattern and can pick the books up where I want and whenever I come across them. So far they have all - well, all two that I know - been self contained stories yet with tantalising hints as to what has come before or may come afterwards.
The Snowman as a mystery novel is not the greatest work. The moment the killer was introduced I knew straightaway who it was. And a couple of other surprise character developments were also quite apparent from an early point on, yet none of that diminished my reading pleasure.
I really dig Harry Hole as a character as well as all the supporting cast around him. Even with an obvious solution, the book lost none of its readability and has me looking forward to the next one (whichever one it may be) for my reading list.
