But I have often maintained that if an author can make you dislike and sometimes even hate his characters with a passion, then that writer has done his/her job. Wang Z, Shi Y, Qiu Z, Che Y, Lo N (2017) Reconstructing the phylogeny of Blattodea: robust support for interfamilial relationships and major clades. Sci Rep 7:1–8 It was Habyarimana’s death that set off what everyone in Nyamata knew was coming, something that would be named by a word I’d never heard before: genocide. In Kinyarwanda, we would call it gutsembatsemba, a verb that means something like ‘to eradicate,’ formerly used to talk about rabid dogs or destructive animals. When I learned of the first massacres, immediately after Habayariman’s death, it was like a brief moment of deliverance: at last! Now we could stop living our lives waiting for death to come. It was there. There was no way to escape it. The Tutsis’ fated destiny would be fulfilled. A morbid satisfaction flashed through my mind: we in Nyamata had so long expected this! But how could I have conceived the depth of the horror that would overtake Rwanda? An entire people engaged in the most unthinkable crimes, against old people, women, children, babies, with a cruelty and ferocity so inhuman that even today the killers feel no remorse.” The narrator is an alcoholic who somehow manages to stumble his sodden way into solving murders. He isn't very well characterized, and I don't much care about him or his reasons for being a drunk.

Being as suspicious as an exceptional detective should be, the readers are motivated to go into the complex process of decoding the above phrase; for knowing the real motives of this premeditated move. Clearly, he wasn’t sent to Bangkok seeing that he had just solved a laborious case in Sydney. On the contrary, the intention was to use him as a means to pull the wool over the eyes of the media. I had a hard time reading the first half, wondering if I would finish it. For the second half I was really into it and it was all making sense and being real.I recommend this read, as well as the author's other novel, De Niro's Game. You may not like the book simply because of the characters who seem to have few redeeming qualities. The soldiers demanded that President Kayibanda’s portrait be hung in every house. The missionaries made sure the image of Mary was put up beside him. We lived our lives under the twin portraits of the President who’d vowed to exterminate us and Mary who was waiting for us in heaven. Hsieh YS, Hsu CY.

The New York Review of Books. 65 (3): 27–29. - Cited: p. 29 The writing is eloquent, fluent and lively, giving the opportunity to the readers to go deep into Harry’s inner world and to bond with him. Jo Nesbø succeeded Stieg Larsson as the go-to Scandinavian crime writer on the strength of the Harry Hole novels. Even if you don’t consider yourself a fan of Scandi and have never read Nesbø, you shouldn’t give him a miss. Nesbø produces quality crime fiction books for the same reason as authors like Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, and James Patterson do. It’s the same secret sauce—strong and complex characters, imaginative plotting, ample action, and a detective who uses realistic problem-solving skills to solve a mystery and bring the baddies to justice. Still, what sets Nesbø apart is his ability to inject suspense into his stories. I’ve literally grown so uncomfortable with the suspense while reading a Nesbø book, I’ve had to put it aside for a while to recover my equilibrium before continuing to read. Publishers Weekly stated that it is a "powerful and poignant book [that] plants itself in that terrible absence, its stone etched with a difficult, necessary grief." [1]

Un tópico asqueroso, pero en el contexto de esta historia se trata de una forma muy interesante y quizás desde otro ángulo y Nesbo no deja dudas en transmitir que la pedofilia es algo asqueroso y repugnante por donde se le mire.
