The Last Word

Really liked the beginning and amazing plot twists, "only" three stars because I was reading it for a longer time and because of that it lost its thrill a little

I am confused

I had this book preordered cause I was so excited to read it… well now a year later I finally picked it up and I’m glad I did. The story was very intense but I feel like I didn’t understand anything after the 300 page mark 😭

Phew.. the beginning and ending were so tedious to get through. The book sorf of hit its stride in the middle there but I was constantly itching to finally finish this

This was tense, intriguing and had some good twists but most of all it was absolutely hilarious! Every single cliché fit like pot to kettle on the killer, from the fedora and katana to saying the main character just doesn’t get it because she’s a female. Even towards the end of the book there were still new details that had me laughing out loud with how ridiculous this killer is. I also loved the many instances of unreliable narration that were just as hilarious: “He shrieks through gnashed teeth, a girlish scream.” “It barely hurt. He didn’t scream or even grunt. He had always been a well-muscled fighter with exceptional pain tolerance.” And most importantly: the dog is fine

Es war wirklich sehr spannend und einfach zu lesen. Außerdem gab es viele Plottwists. Zusätzlich wusste man erst zum Schluss dass vermutlich viel vom Buch nicht zuverlässig war, weil Deek ja doch der Autor von vielen Stellen war. Deshalb dachte man auch nicht, dass Emma es überlebt, weil er ja geschrieben hat, dass sie es nicht überlebt. Auch dass Emma eine Tochter hatte die wegen ihr in einem Unfall gestorben ist, wusste man ja wirklich gar nicht bis zum Schluss.

I was really intrigued at first, but it lost me. I was honestly just bored out of my mind. Meh.
