![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 2.5 stars ( ![]() Riley Sager is very much like Ruth Ware to me; I have read and continue to read all of their books despite the fact that I have never been "wowed" or even remotely impressed by anything that they have written. However, I think this has a lot more to say about me than it does about the book - I tend to enjoy a book that is built upon atmosphere and characterization rather than the very formulaic and predictable composition of a thriller. One of my biggest criticisms of this book is the fact that it b a r e l y plays off of its time period. This book takes place in 1991, but I only knew that because of the fact that Charlie is using a pay phone and that there was one very lame description of a certain cassette tape that had a baby floating in water on the cover. Not for anything, when I read a book that's set in the 90's, I want to be transported back in time! I want to be able to see slip dresses, tattoo chokers, tacky boots, and grungy clothing. I want that 90's vibe! All that being said, don't let my two-star rating dissuade you from reading this book. It was fun! There was murder! There was even an unexpected twist! This one just wasn't for me because I'm a picky snob, but hopefully it will be for you. Rounded up from 2.5 but maybe that's a stretch. This book was tense and fun while I was reading but the ending was beyond ridiculous. Very hard to follow -- the ultimate unreliable narrator. If I could turn back time I'd choose not to read this book. Riley Sager is off my list. second book I’ve read by this author - this one better than the last! Typical Riley Sager novel. Predictable plot. Dumb main character. Overall, an entertaining time in a B-movie type of way. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML:THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of New York Times Book Review's "summer reads guaranteed to make your heart thump and your skin crawl"; An Amazon Best of the Month Pick; Named a must-read summer book by The Washington Post, USA Today, Vulture, BuzzFeed, Forbes, Entertainment Weekly, CNN, New York Post, Good Housekeeping, E!, PopSugar, CrimeReads, Thrillist, and BookRiot. Itâ??s November 1991. Nirvana's in the tape deck, George H. W. Bush is in the White House, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer. Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. For Charlie, itâ??s guilt and grief over the shocking murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. For Josh, itâ??s to help care for his sick fatherâ??or so he says. The longer she sits in the passenger seat, the more Charlie notices thereâ??s something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesnâ??t want her to see inside the trunk. As they travel an empty, twisty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly anxious Charlie begins to think sheâ??s sharing a car with the Campus Killer. Is Josh truly dangerous? Or is Charlieâ??s jittery mistrust merely a figment of her movie-fueled imagination? One thing is certainâ??Charlie has nowhere to run and no way to call for help. Trapped in a terrifying game of cat and mouse played out on pitch-black roads and in neon-lit parking lots, Charlie knows the only way to w No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
