   Books Read in 2023 (3,282) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  bibliotecayamaguchi | May 10, 2023 |   The blurb isn't exactly what happens in the book: Suzuki doesn't have to 'take each of the [three assassins] on', but eventually all paths collide and we barrel towards an explosive and violent conclusion. As I said initially, for me this doesn't quite have the stunning impact that 'Bullet Train' did, but it is satisfyingly wonderful and is unlike most stuff that is out there, so it's a minor quibble. 4.5 stars, just not quite a 5. (  ) Alan.M | Jun 2, 2022 | Three Assassins written by Kotaro Isaka an award -winning Japanese writer, published all over the world according to the blurb. On the evidence of this ‘thriller’ I am not sure which language he is an award winner in. It is not English and that is not blaming the translation. The premise of three assassins at work at the behest of the rich and powerful in Japan is excellent. The delivery on the other hand is poor. The characterisation is not believable unless something has been lost in translation. I admit I did not finish this book, getting to half- way through the book was hard enough work and took a week! I cannot see this gaining an audience in the English- speaking world, it does not match up with the thrillers that it is competing with. If you want a thriller about three assassins, this is not the book for you. (  ) atticusfinch1048 | Feb 13, 2022 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
By the internationally bestselling author of Bullet Train, the high-octane new thriller, set in Tokyo's criminal underworld, pits an ordinary man against a group of talented and very unusual assassins Three Assassins is the high-stakes, high-style, and utterly propulsive follow-up to Kotaro Isaka's international bestseller, Bullet Train, a Crime Reads "Most Anticipated Book of 2021." Suzuki is an ordinary man until his wife is murdered. To get answers and his revenge, Suzuki abandons his law-abiding lifestyle and takes a low-level job with a front company operated by the crime gang Maiden, who are responsible for his wife's death. Before long, Suzuki finds himself caught up in a network of quirky and highly effective assassins: The Cicada is a knife expert. The Pusher nudges people into oncoming traffic. The Whale whispers bleak aphorisms to his victims until they take their own lives. Intense and electrifying, Three Assassins delivers a wild ride through the criminal underworld of Tokyo, populated by contract killers who are almost superhumanly good at their jobs.

"La Ballena", rey de la dialéctica, aboca a sus objetivos al suicidio.
"La Cigarra" habla demasiado, pero su manejo de los cuchillos es inigualable.
"El Empujón" mata a sus víctimas empujándolas con suavidad al tráfico de Tokio.
Suzuki deberá enfrentarse a todos ellos si quiere encontrar la justicia que tanto desea.
Desenfrenada y elegante a la vez, Tres asesinos es un viaje vertiginoso al inframundo criminal de Tokio, poblado por los mercenarios mejor preparados del mundo; una suerte de tragedia clásica en la que nada sobra, pasada por el filtro del mejor cine de Tarantino o los hermanos Coen.
