///ESPAÑOL///
Un muy buen libro. Aunque tarda mucho en llegar a la acción. Pero los personajes están muy bien desarrollados y evolucionan bien en la historia. El último capítulo fue todo una sorpresa. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
///ENGLISH///
First of all, I don't know if this book has been translated into english. It is polish or something like that (original name "Sankta Psyco"). That said, it's a very good book. But it takes it some time to get to the action. The characters have a good development and are quite deep. The last chapter was a surprise. I totally recommend this book.

Skrýš není mojí první knihou od J. Theorina, ale zatím se mi zdá, jako nejslabší. Autor psát umí a čtivost se knize rozhodně nedá upřít, ale tentokrát mi přišlo, že příběh, i když dobře vymyšlený, měl slabší místa, která mě nebavila (a osobně myslím, že jejich vynechání by ani děj nijak neovlivnilo). Další věcí, která mi neseděla, byla postava Jana. Dokážu pochopit, že ne každý je silná osobnost a nebo se dokáže vyrovnat s šikanou bez toho, aby ho to zasáhlo. On ale zůstal pevně přimknutý k minulosti, bez větší snahy posunout se někam dál, či sám. Je mi jasné, že to byl úmysl, ale já postavy tohoto typu nemám ráda. Za mě, je tato kniha prostě průměrná a já se raději zase rychle vrátím k autorově sérii Ostrov Öland, která mi rozhodně seděla víc.

Well, the raving reviews on the back cover say you'll want to leave your lights on after reading this, and it's as scary as any Stephen King novel. Well, you may continue sleeping with our lights out, and there's nothing scary at all about the story of Jan.
It's a slow read, as many Scandinavian stories are, and it will unfold the tragic + melancholic life story of a young man who got bullied at school and who never fully recovered from the experience. It's the story of some unwise choices, of stupid things done for the (from his POV) right reasons, of somebody withdrawing himself within himself while trying to maintain a regular facade.
The book didn't scare me and it will not stick with me for life, but it was a good read and I certainly didn't regret picking it up.

Points for originality, and hilariously typical "serial killer" character. Paced well, definitely an easy read, though certainly not a stand-out in any meaningful way.
