review 1: I have made a promise to myself to stop reading things that make me cringe. I really hate to say terrible things about any book, because I know that somewhere out there is an author who worked really hard on it. But.... okay, here's what bugged me about it so much that I couldn't finish it. 1) Redundant writing. A lot of it. For example.... "it was a rhetorical question and she knew it didn't require an answer...." and "unnecessary excess" are the ones that I remember off the top of my head. This is hard on the editor in my soul. I want to whip out a red pen and mark it up. I want to rewrite it. 2) I understand that a serial killer has delusions of grandeur but give me a break. After the fourth or fifth chapter of his arrogant preening — that doesn't really tell me anyth... moreing about the story, btw — I just couldn't stand it. I get it already. He thinks he's gonna be the world's most famous serial killer. Hurry up and show me WHY he thinks he's so smart before I get so bored I hurl the book across the room.3) I just didn't buy his characters' reactions. Three women get anonymous letters in the mail saying they have been targeted for murder. My sensibility tells me that at least ONE of them would blow it off as a prank and forget about it. Oh, she might be a little creeped out, but an hour or so later, her normal routine would kick in, and she'd forget about it until something else happened. Most people really do believe that they are safe, that the world is okay, and bad things are what happen to other people. They wouldn't do such stupid stuff otherwise. That all three of them immediately panicked just doesn't ring true to me, and doesn't work for building suspense in the story. 4) I got tired of something being described as two things at the same time. "Familiar and yet totally foreign...." "calm and at the same time, frantic..." Grrrrrrr.I just didn't like this book. Maybe my standards are just too high. It's hard to find a good book by sheer chance. Serves me right for just grabbing something off the library shelf in a hurry.
review 2: HolasNo se si soy yo o es que le pasa a todo el mundo, pero no es genial poder meterse aunque sea cinco segundos dentro de la mente de alguien que es planteado ante nosotros como un psicopata? Obviamente no es que justifique a esas personas que tienen esa loca idea que tienen el poder de elegir sobre una vida y otra. Pero siempre quise saber cómo es que esa idea podría tener sentido en sus mentes. Y nadie lo demuestra más claramente que John Katzenbach. Es más puedo atribuirle a él los méritos de que hoy sea una persona más proclive a escuchar y tratar de entender a las personas, aún cuando odio a pleno pulmón la psicologia y esa clase de treta en la que la mente de uno y todas sus conductas, formas de pensar y demás se vuelven un objeto de estudio con lo cual después serás juzgado. Lo que me gusto de este libro es que no ves en solo el punto de vista de una persona. Tenes al alcance de la mano cada idea de cada personaje clave, comprendiendo cada uno y llegando hasta a quererles. No lo voy a negar, ame a "Pelirroja 3", sus conductas me fascinan, sera la edad, sera la empatia. No obstante, me resultó desconcertante que alguien perfeccionista haya perdido contra sus tres indefensas victimas. Igualmente no esperaba ninguno de los dos finales. Ni en el que las tres acabasen en un hoyo en el suelo, ni en el que las tres fueran triunfantes y vivas, mas que nada vivas y las tres.. esperaba aunque sea una muerte siendo sincera. Creo que tener el punto de vista tanto de la víctima como del asesino es frustrante al punto de pensar que sabes que va a pasar porque lo leiste de uno, y el otro te cambia completamente la idea. En fin lo que puedo decir me encanto del final fue la situación que le impusieron al Lobo, la de estar siempre pendiente y asustado. Exactamente como el siempre esperó de sus víctimas, hermosa ironía. Me gustó el libro, como siempre John Katzenbach nunca me decepciona. less
