 "Het Gouden Ei" is een teleurstellende leeservaring geweest. De dialogen tussen de personages waren droog en saai, wat het boek moeilijk verteerbaar maakte. Bovendien was er een onnodige aanwezigheid van seksisme en racisme, wat afbreuk deed aan de kwaliteit van het verhaal. Daarnaast waren er opvallend veel spelfouten in het boek, wat de algehele leeservaring verder verminderde.

Really easy to read and enthralling from beginning to end. The lack of empathy from some of the characters was shocking, the writing conveyed this very well. Loved the mystery, the reader was kept quessing until the end.

0.25

The 0.25 is for it being published! There is nothing likeable about this book, to the blatant sexism and misogyny to the most horrible ending ever. I had to read this book for school and I am beyond disappointed with how bad this is, the idea for the book could have genuinely been interesting but the author completely messed it up and made it into something awful.
