The first 300 pages felt very long and dragged. But the 'drama' was pretty good and emotional

Absolutely fantastic book and really is one of the best books I have read.
It’s a fantastic follow up to The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair.
It has Definitely been added to My Read Again List.

...3...3.5...4....É muito entretido, sem dúvida. Algumas partes são mesmo muito boas, outras são banais. No fundo, a questão é que acho que nunca acreditei muito nas personagens. Mas vale a pena na mesma e lê-se num instante.

Es la primera obra que leo de Joël Dicker y a rasgos generales me ha gustado. La trama tienes que acostumbrarte un poco a los saltos temporales pero no es dificil de seguir. En cuanto a los personajes te llegas a encariñar con los Baltimore y a mi personalmente me emocionó bastante cara al final.

So it's official Joël Dicker is one of my favourite authors. I love his style of writing, it's simple, honest and engrossing.

The book is just beautiful, that's all I'm going to say, one of my favourite reads this year.
