review 1: This book came recommended to me by two close friends. We are still close but I must have a parting of the ways regarding this book. This is the fourth book in a row I could not finish. I've lost my reading mojo. I had to stop this book at page 133. It's by a duo from Sweden. I'm usually a fan of this genre but the mystery left me wanting more. I find the character development lacking and I really didn't care how the book ends. It takes place in Sweden and Ohio. A convict is presumed to have died in his jail cell only to be reborn again in Sweden seven years later. How did this happen and why is the story. Don't care. Hopefully I'll get lucky with the next book.
review 2: This is VERY different from the other book I read by them (3 Seconds). This o... morene is more of a simple tale about the death penalty, by writers who pretty clearly oppose it. There is a twist end, though for some reason, I saw it coming a mile away. My main problem with this duo is that they have almost a nasty, sadistic streak to their writing (meaning, I feel like they get some degree of twisted pleasure in the bleakness and perversion), which I find really annoying and unpleasant - especially when reading an analysis of the death penalty! I think I might have respected them more, had they kept the tone of the first 3/4's of the book going through to the end - though it definitely would have been a bit "preachy". less
