Roman over hoe een klein leugentje een groot verschil kan maken ( ) “Everybody Lies” could be an alternative title for this book. I am not for sure there was any character that did not lie about something. And then tell more lies to cover up the earlier lies. I was attracted to the book as soon as I heard about it. However, the book failed to live up to my expectations. The story follows Nofar, who falsely accuses a man of sexual assault. Once she told that lie, she has to tell more and more lies to avoid the truth being revealed. Sounds like a great concept for a book. But the book read so slowly. It was like trying to pedal a bike through mud. Almost nothing happened in the book plot wise. The book was almost entirely inner thought and musings by the characters. Even after 200 pages we were no further from the start of the book than we were on page 1. A very slow read. The book had too many characters as well, over 50 characters. Most of the characters were minor characters who were only mentioned once and never heard from again. There was also a plot line that was totally meaningless in the book. The story of Raymonde, Rivka and Areh’le was totally irrelevant to the story of Lavi and Nofar. Their story was a total waste of time and paper. Craft wise, there were many instances of POV shifts within the same paragraph. We would be reading about Nofar, then the author would start addressing the scene from another character’s point of view. This “head hopping” was a major distraction. Unfortunately, the last chapter which tried to wrap up the plot lines was a disaster. We were told in a few sentences how everything turned out. It was too rushed. With some major revision and improvement, this could have been a 5-star book. But due to the many issues mentioned above, I can only give it two stars. It does deserve two stars as it at least was interesting enough I was never tempted to DNF it. Dieses Buch ist Gegenstand der Aktion "Regensburg, Kelheim und Tel Aviv lesen ein Buch". Viele schöne Aktionen rund um das Buch und sein Thema "Lügen" wurden und werden durchgeführt. Wirklich super! Das Buch selbst bietet natürlich viel Fläche. Es ist relativ eingängig zu lesen und doch komplex genug. Das Thema "Lüge" kann auch ohne Kenntnis des Buches gut umgesetzt und verstanden werden. Die Einstiegsszene, in der die junge Eisverkäuferin in ihre Lüge schlittert, eignet sich gut zum Gestalten, Vortragen, Spielen. Und worum geht es? Eine siebzehnjährige Schülerin jobbt in den Ferien in einer Eisdiele. Sie ist unscheinbar und hat keine Freunde. Die Hoffnungen, die sie sich auf diese Ferien gemacht hat, haben sich nicht erfüllt. Da schlittert sie in die fälschliche Bezichtigung eines arroganen Ex-Stars hinein, der sie angeblich misshandelt hat. Und langsam kann sie nicht mehr zurück hintert ihr Lügengebilde. Ganz in Ordnung zu lesen. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
From the award-winning author of Waking Lions comes a novel about how one lie can change everything, when a teenaged girl's scream--and the false assumption that comes from it--radiates through a street, a neighborhood, and a city, and turns lives upside down.
