Description

Read the number one Scandinavian crime bestseller taking the world by storm Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm. Detective Inspector Joona Linna is faced with a boy who witnessed the gruesome murder of his family. He’s suffered more than one hundred knife wounds and is comatose with shock. Linna’s running out of time. The killer’s on the run and, seemingly, there are no clues. Desperate for information, Linna enlists disgraced specialist Dr Erik Maria Bark, a hypnotist who vowed never to practice again. As the hypnosis begins, a long and terrifying chain of events unfurls with reverberations far beyond Linna’s case.

Слушала в машине. Немного затянуто, но интересно. Триллер. Почитаю еще.

Se avessi considerato il film, probabilmente non avrei attribuito più di due stelle, anche se nella pellicola ci sono flashback continui che potrebbero tenere lo spettatore in sospeso. Ma dato che si tratta di un libro, che per opinione personale è gradevole e fluido da leggere, gli riconoscerò cinque stelle.

Nonostante ciò, senza nulla togliere agli intellettuali o ai monologhi di personalità italiane come: Roberto Bolaño (pur essendo cileno, spesso associato a certi contesti letterari), Giampiero Mughini, Massimo Cacciari, Roberto Saviano, ecc., lungo la stesura del libro vi è un abbondante uso del dialogo: un discorso piuttosto ragionato che alluderebbe a un libro scritto in prima persona. Invece, il duo che forma lo pseudonimo Lars Kepler conferma ancora una volta la propria affinità nel lavorare insieme come un unico soggetto.

If I had considered the movie, I probably wouldn't have given it more than two stars, even though the film features continuous flashbacks that might keep the viewer in suspense. But since it is a book, which in my personal opinion is pleasant and fluid to read, I am going to give it five stars.

Despite this, without taking anything away from the intellectuals or monologues of Italian figures such as: Roberto Bolaño (though Chilean, often grouped in these literary contexts), Giampiero Mughini, Massimo Cacciari, Roberto Saviano, etc., throughout the writing of the book there is an abundant use of dialogue: a fairly reasoned discourse that would allude to a book written in the first person. Instead, the duo that forms the pseudonym Lars Kepler confirms once again their affinity for working together and as a single subject.
