pluggar till psykolog och vill gärna ha ett samtal med JAL för att förstå vad han får allt ifrån.
likt alla hans böcker är ”rörelsen” mycket bra och orimligt spännande. men kanske blev det lite väl…vrickat (?) den här gången. jag som är blodrädd också

Очень сложный жанр.
Первая книга серии меня искренне порадовала. А эта не просто не интересна, но еще и отвратительна местами. Причем в стиле Зюскинда, а не Кинга.

There is nothing redeeming about this book. It’s slow, boring, self-indulgent, bleak, and disgusting.
There’s enough unpleasantness in the world - why even create a book like this? Like, what’s the point? To gross people out? To make them feel awful?
The writing itself is poor with oddly constructed sentences, heaps of filler, clunky grammar, and abhorrent pacing issues. The characters were all awful and have no characterization whatsoever.
To summarize, the first 150 pages are pure self-indulgent, navel-gazey waffle (who writes fiction about themselves? This guy apparently.) The remaining pages are entirely disgusting.
There’s nothing spooky about this book, it’s not atmospheric, it’s just gross. Ugh.

прям очень понравилось. вот есть книжки, в которых загадка дыры нифига не объясняется до конца, и это жутко бесит (для меня это тана френч, например), а есть такие, где ровно также нифига не объясняется, но все равно очень хорошо. эта - из последних)
