Sorry
but the people that froth over The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will likely find something to appreciate here. this has all the same over-the-top violence and sexual abuse coupled with characters i can't seem to give a damn about with many branching storylines that eventually converge in a way that seems overplotted.
so, very reminiscent of that book, to which i gave three stars, but which the more i think about, the less i actually feel it deserves. violence doesn't bother me - i am one of the people who liked American Psycho. in fact, i borrowed this from work because the cover flap started thusly:
One. Two. Three. That’s all it takes to drive the nail into her head, to leave her hanging on the wall. She deserved to die. Now all he needs is absolution for his sins, and he knows just the people who can help.
and i was all "woohoo!!" because i am sick. and i thought that would be funny to read. but all of it is written very earnestly, without any sense of humor, so what's the point? it isn't entertaining. it isn't even boring in a way that makes you uncomfortable, like funny games. it is just an unthrilling thriller with a lot of violence and characters who seem to have difficulty adapting to their situation, and making all the wrong moves.
especially frauke - because seriously - how did you expect that was going to end any other way?? oops, girl.
these characters do the darndest things, and it is frustrating to read this book, as a human being. if this were a movie, you would all be shuussssshing me because i would be yelling "what are you doing that for?? are you daft?? why would you think that was a good idea??" over and over.
or maybe you wouldn't, because you would probably also hate the movie. and you would share your raisinets with me in solidarity.
this makes two two-star books in a row, and that makes me grumpy.
come to my blog!
For the first quarter of the book I was a bit confused, and for the first third I found the writing style to be really pretentious but that petered out with the more that I read. As the story unravelled it became a bit more easy to read. The book had a good concept to begin with but many of the things the characters did I found questionable enough even with the characters personalities to bring me out of the story. The writing style and ideas within the novel were interesting enough that I may
Four young friends come up with an idea - make apologies for a living. Their business takes off and they are living the good life until a killer client comes along. This isn't your average thriller as the reader is introduced to "you." "You" have nailed a woman to the wall and "you" want to employ these friends to apologize for her death. Great.I found this novel to be highly original and although I did not love all of it; I was compelled to read on. The jumbled time line, the switching between

Sorry by Zoran Drvenkar is one of the more boring books Ive read in a long time, even more boring than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I use the term read loosely because I didnt actually make it through either one of them. Every time I picked up Sorry to read it, I fell asleep pretty much in the first paragraph so I finally gave it up after 100 pages. In Sorry, a group of friends who have fallen on hard times start a business in which they deliver apologies and settlement offers to people who
Unapologetically thrillingWho is you and who is I?Figuring that out is part of the entertainment in this gripping and slippery, grisly thriller that keeps convoluting reality with its use of language and shifting points of view.But stick with it and try to keep up as time and narrator change. Itll be worth it. Sorry is that kind of a novel that will stay buried in your head for a long time to come.A literary trickster, Drvenkar is best at manipulation. Hes a master of control and sometimes hes
