I crashed straight into this one from reading Snow Angels and Lucifer s Tears I m about 70% in now and I m really wondering what the I m reading It s like a friend you know uite well who s brilliant company when he s sober who suddenly becomes unrecognisable when he s drunk violent amoral foul mouthed It s a shock The previous books were sharp focused sure This is chaos I seriously cannot recognise Kari the MC of the series in this book Sure he s had brain surgery for a benign tumour and the author is brilliantly showing the after effects of such invasive intrusion in the mind but still This is a novel on steroids Guns and knives described in great lurid detail violent deaths thrown in almost as an afterthought I FEEL LIKE I M BEING SHOUTED AT THE WHOLE TIME AND IT S GETTING VERY TIRING I HAVE A HEADACHE NOW ALONG WITH THE AUTHOR AND THE MAIN CHARACTERI actually liked the way Thompson dealt with the race issues in the previous books He calls things as they are and doesn t try to appease limp willy liberals by tiptoeing around the cultural pressures that vast swathes of immigration from sub Saharan Africa can place on a small isolated Nordic peoples particularly on its police force But in this one it s almost too LOUD TO HEAR THE MESSAGE AND I M GETTING LOST IN THE SHOUTINGI will finish this I m acutely conscious of the fact that James Thompson gave his character the headaches because he too was suffering from them Whether he too had brain surgery and suffered the same cutting off of all his emotional responses is unclear he was an intensely private author If James Thompson s life spiralled downhill as Kari s is doing then I feel I owe it to him to finish this book I can t say I m exactly enjoying the experience so far thoughI will update when I finish and my headache has subsided Finished I must say it was a relief I didn t enjoy this novel at all I couldn t care less now if Kari or his wife Kate live or die or any of the other odd people he s chosen to surround himself with There was a scene in this novel view spoiler where an 8 month pregnant woman gets deliberately shot in the stomach to force her to admit the location of some money It wasn t even that horrific cruelty that got to me it was the terrible writing of the scene One man had three very dangerous police officers one other woman and a baby all at his mercy with one gun and was alternately shooting them or cutting bits off but none of them were tied up or seemed to be resisting but worse not one sound was made The whole scene was silent except for the guy asking about the money I mean can you imagine such a bloodbath Ears coming off people being shot in the face teeth being shattered by bullets knees being blown apart the poor woman and her stomachbut silent No description of it other than almost what I ve given above hide spoiler
