I've just started to read this book and already I think it's like five or six people already dead and this is just in the first chapter and the prologue. It has a lot of flashbacks in the main character's mind just to show how terribly scarred he is from his daughter and wive's brutal murder. And the author puts them in weird places where you wouldn't expect Charlie to think of the murder not even anything about his wife or daughter just their murder. The author also puts you in the mind of a sarcastic, seasoned former NYPD detective. I'm already hating the killer and waiting for an awesome death because he deserves it, and he has only murdered two people we know of and tortured the poor mind of a simple man.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I tried reading this book. I loved it up until it started to become dull. When i say dull...I really mean less murder and more police work.
ReplyDeleteI liked the killer so...why do hate the killer? What if killing them was a mistake, would you still hate him/her? As always, do you have a favorite character? If you do have one, why?
So far the author has introduced two new people and a new murder, that i'm not sure why he put it in the book, because the main character can't help an already dead person who may or may not have the same murderer as his wife and child did. That's about all that is new in the book, my feelings for cop mystery, suspense is still the same if it doesn't pick up which it probably will in the next couple of chapters i'm probably going to ditch it. But my instinct tells me it will pick up, also my eyes looking at future chapters helped my instinct as well. I also like the way the author shows friends and foes in the main characters eyes and mind not just shoving them in saying they all hold and braid each others hair and about their life problems, the author makes sure you see the good and the bad of all the main characters friends.
ReplyDeleteI never said I hate the killer well I did but not like he's terrible, but he deserves to die and to get an awesome death by the main character. I don't think I have a favorite character because I feel like later in the book there will be a character that I just love to piece, so i'm not sure yet.
