First to make one thing clear - this is not your standard thriller. This is more of a drama with criminal elements. Main character - writer seeking peace and comfort in secluded village in order to finish his new novel with hopes of becoming popular again - ends up in a very strange village controlled by feuding families. Out of pure curiosity he decides to stay in the village, move that will mark him forever.
Things escalate quickly in the swirl of violence and all-out madness as the main character gets pushed more and more to the dark side of human behavior (in my opinion there is not a normal person in the entire village).
Now you may ask why 3.5 stars? Simple. Certain romantic parts of the novel are extremely slow and get "old" pretty fast. Main character gets in affairs with lots of women but these women have a lot ... and I mean a lot ... mental baggage. Chapters dedicated to Internet chats or SMS messages between lovers are full of talk that is told and re-told over and over again. After a while these parts of the story start to look like page fillers and not integral story parts. At some points these chapters can bring the tempo of the story to zero.
Recommended to thriller and crime fans but be aware of rather tiresome romantic-conversation parts of the book.… (más)
