Oh my god!! I really don't know how I can express my feelings about this book :-D it was so so so good, but damn scary haha
Absoluter Pageturner!
Ich habe ein paar Seiten gebraucht, um mit dem Schreibstil zurechtzukommen - danach hat es mich aber total in seinen Bann gezogen! Es wird relativ schnell klar, dass Joe (in dessen Gedanken wir mitgenommen werden) nicht unbedingt die ehrenwertesten Absichten hat. Gerade das macht das Buch in meinen Augen so spannend. Man denkt sich immer wieder „ach du Schande, das ist nicht sein Ernst“ - was aber viel erschreckender ist: viele seiner Handlungen und abstrusen Gedankengänge erscheinen in der Konsequenz schon fast nachvollziehbar. Obwohl ich das Buch wirklich äußerst gelungen finde, ziehe ich einen halben Stern ab, da die ein oder andere Situation für meinen Geschmack etwas zu konstruiert zu Gunsten von Joe ausfällt (und ich wahrscheinlich einfach nicht wahrhaben will, dass sowas in der Realität funktionieren würde).
I had trouble getting into it because I’m not a fan of the writing style (“You walk into the bookstore and you keep your hand on the door to make sure it doesn’t slam. You smile, embarrassed to be a nice girl […]”) However, after a few chapters, it got me hooked. It could have been shorter though, since I got bored after some time. The book is about a stalker, but none of it came as a surprise to me – there weren’t any big plot twists which might have surprised me. Joe was a sick psycho and his character was written really well – but I still didn’t like any of them. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to reading the second one. I’m curious how Joe’s life develops after all this.
I only started getting really interested in this story after already having read around 70%, and it only lasted for a few chapters. I understand that writing Joe's perspective is different, and that reading it was going to be strange, but, even if I can't relate to the MC, I should always be able to somehow feel. Anything. Plus, while I enjoy an occasional pop culture reference this is totally over the top. They should be like easter eggs, nice if you spot them. Not totally on your nose in a way which makes you feel stupid if you don't immediately get all of them.
