Beschrijving
In the frigid clime of Tumba, Sweden, a gruesome triple homicide attracts the interest of Detective Inspector Joona Linna, who demands to investigate the murders. The killer is still at large, and there’s only one surviving witness—the boy whose family was killed before his eyes. Whoever committed the crimes wanted this boy to die: he’s suffered more than one hundred knife wounds and lapsed into a state of shock. Desperate for information, Linna sees only one option: hypnotism. He enlists Dr. Erik Maria Bark to mesmerize the boy, hoping to discover the killer through his eyes.
It’s the sort of work that Bark has sworn he would never do again—ethically dubious and psychically scarring. When he breaks his promise and hypnotizes the victim, a long and terrifying chain of events begins to unfurl.
An international sensation, The Hypnotist is set to appear in thirty-seven countries, and it has landed at the top of bestseller lists wherever it’s been published—in France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark. Now it’s America’s turn. Combining the addictive power of the Stieg Larsson trilogy with the storytelling drive of The Silence of the Lambs, this adrenaline-drenched thriller is spellbinding from its very first page.

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.
