Geestenlicht" is uit. Het is zeker geen aanrader. Ik ga niet eens de rest van de serie lezen. De plot rammelt aan alle kanten, de hoofdpersoon maakt vreemde gedachtesprongen die wat mij betreft niet verklaard worden door haar karakter of de omstandigheden en het flinterdunne liefdesdraadje is totaal niet interessant. Eerst dacht ik nog dat het aan mijn verwachtingen lag, maar het is gewoon een slecht boek. ( )
Oh does this book stink! It's set in 1995 but all the time I was reading it I felt sure that it must have been written decades earlier - and when a Datsun drove up at the end it pretty much confirmed it. This novel must have been rotting at the bottom of a pile of rejects and only published in the hope that MZB's name could still sell it. The only non putrid part is the truth quotes at the beginning of each chapter. With a protagonist named Truth, which was a constant annoyance added to the no direction at all thrashing that substituted for plot, with everything semi-explained in the penultimate chapters, everything in this book is false, false, false.
