The Death I Gave Him

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the review copy, which was provided to me by the publisher. This fact does not in any way affect my personal opinion of this book. This post contains advertising and the rights for the book belong to the publisher. Of course, is this only my personal opinion of the book and just because I give this rating to the book doesn’t mean, that everyone will have that opinion. This was a very interesting book for me. I am normally a Fantasy and Romance girlie, but last year I discovered some YA Thrillers and Sci-Fiction books for me. I was curious to see what I would think about this mix, which was a bit out of my comfort zone. First up: I haven’t read Hamlet. I am not a huge Shakespeare fan (please don’t be mean), so I haven’t picked it up yet. This review is based on the context of the book and not the play, which it was inspired by. I can’t talk about parallels etc., so if that is an important point for me, please consider reading a review that’s more educated on that field. This book was entertaining. I read it in one day, and I don’t say it often, but I think this would be an interesting movie even though, it might be hard to adapt it for the screen. I had some problems with the writing style. I’m not a native speaker, and sometimes the sentence structure was a bit hard to grasp for me, but I still understood everything and could follow the story. The overall plot idea was interesting. I liked it and was curious to see how things would progress. There were some plot twists I didn’t see coming, and others were rather obvious, but in my opinion, guessing is the most fun when reading thrillers. I liked that the story is not told as a story but rather in different materials (interviews, logs etc.). The characters were also nice. We have a fixed set of characters from the beginning, so we can easily follow how they develop throughout the story. Sadly, I wasn’t feeling the love/sexy story, but it was something new and unique to me. Conclusion Overall, I think this was an enjoyable Sci-Fi Thriller and would recommend it.
