i liked it at the beginning but after like 150 pages it just got boring. the plottwist were good but wenn you discovered what happened after the plottwist it just wasn’t good.im glad i finished this book. 2.5⭐️
Such a fun read!
I loved the way it was written, the humour, the characters and the way information was revealed but by bit, both about the current events as well as the history of the characters.
"Everyone in my family has killed someone" starts off with the story of how the protagonist's brother killed someone. I thought it would continue like this, going into details of how Ernest's family have killed people one by one, but instead it continued after this with a mostly linear story of things that happened after, while learning how his family have killed in bits and pieces. Due to this, this felt more like a detective novel than like "How to Kill Your Family" as I assumed before I started this book. As I like detective fiction, I ended up liking this. This book has a lot of fourth wall breaks, as it is written as if the protagonist had written and published the book after the events of the book had taken place, and in the end I can look back at those parts as a whole and say it fit well and enjoyed quite a few of those parts. While reading it, though, I had problems with it in the beginning, as some of the early fourth walls breaks sounded like the book didn't take itself seriously and that is something I don't enjoy, or at least that didn't fit with the rest of the book. I listened to this on audiobook, and I liked that there were a few changes made to the fourth wall breaks to account for that. It did make the author's note a bit weird, since it talked about page numbers, while it was chapter numbers in the audiobook, but it did make me feel like they put a lot of thought into the audiobook. The plot was very enjoyable, but I don't have anything specific to say about it. I liked this book, I liked following along. I didn't always follow the reasoning, but I mostly assumed that was because I was listening inattentively or possibly while passing traffic, and I couldn't just page through the book to find the passage the narrator was referring to. I loved the twists and I enjoyed the things we found out had happened beforehand and why.
Spannend und anders als alles, was ich bisher gelesen habe
Ein cleverer Krimi, der mit viel schwarzem Humor und einem ungewöhnlichen Erzählerstil punktet. Die Geschichte anders aufgebaut als jedes Buch, das ich bisher gelesen habe. Der Erzähler spricht die Leser*in direkt an, bricht die vierte Wand und führt mit einer Mischung aus Witz und trockenem Sarkasmus durch eine ziemlich morbide Familiengeschichte. Jeder der Charaktere hat seine eigene dunkle Vergangenheit, und das eigentliche Rätsel ist komplex genug, um bis zum Schluss spannend zu bleiben. Ein Punkt Abzug, weil es manchmal wirklich kompliziert wurde und ich aufpassen musste, nicht den Anschluss zu verlieren. Dafür habe ich mit dem Plottwist am Ende definitiv nicht gerechnet. Und das, obwohl man im Prolog schon erfährt, auf welchen Seiten jemand stirbt.
This book was so good like what like how the whole concept>>
Didn't see that one coming 😃
Damn, talk about a Plot Twist. Sehr spannend und gewitzt erzählt! Werde mir auf jeden Fall das 2. Buch holen.
Everyone reading this has killed someone. - Just kidding! .. or not?
It's a "who dunnit" story with lots of twists and turns and a fair chance to get involved in solving the crime yourself. I love media that is meta and this book (or rather this author) has mastered this perfectly. I really enjoyed the book, I laughed often and for a long time before I could continue reading. The story was exciting right up to the last page! Tip: Don't give the book to your family as a present as it could be interpreted as an invitation ;) I'm already looking forward to the second book (and the TV series) :)
