The story in itself is interesting, but it develops very slowly. Only near the end does the book become less monotone. It is a classic but not one of the best ones out there.
It starts out very slow, up until half of the book it gets really good and then you cannot stop reading. But at the beginning there are so many things said that are not important. But all in all it is a very graphic crime novel, not just in the details of the murder but on the thoughts of the detective which is very interesting.
The book has a long introduction, that is literally a spoiler, it tells you everything that happens in the whole book. The story itself is great but this introduction ruins it! I recommend you to read the book and leave the introduction when you finish the book, but also the introduction is not worth the read anyway.
I loved the book. If you have seen series or movies of Dorian Grey, I can assure you that the book is better (like always). The book had a mini biography of the author at the beginning and end of the book, just to let you know how much he struggled with the release of this story, which makes the book even better and just aroused my curiosity in finding out more about Oscar Wilde.
So well written, perfect details that immerse you in the story and make you think that it's a true story. Beautiful and real.
It was a pointless book, where the main character just complains and writes letter to get his anger and sadness out but never sends the letters and then suddenly he doesn't write them anymore and then everything is ok... There was excitement, no plot no ups and downs just a flat dead line of story.
Absolutely hilarious and refreshing. Loved every part of it even if I didn't understand much about gambling or golf or baseball, but in reality you don't need to. It's a great book!
