my new favourite
god the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on, wow. this book now has a place in my heart, it's been a while since I've read a book I've loved unconditionally. no, I won't stop telling about it, I need everyone to read it and talk to me about it!!!
this was a weird read. it was mostly interesting even tho I wasn't that drawn in by the summary. near the end it got weird and out of hand for me, the story went to places I wasn't expecting but saw coming at the same time. honestly all I can think is antara needs some serious therapy, a child is not an answer, a way out. and god the bits about her imagining killing her baby and her family member show how unhinged she became by the end.
also I don't know if I'm stupid for not getting it, but the last page, about her screaming and no one hearing, of her seeing only her own reflection in the mirror was a little confusing. I don't understand where it was cut of from reality and went to whatever that ending was. is that was was in her head? I have no idea.
i've been following the comic on instagram for a while now and absolutely love the book ♥️ there were a lot of strips i had not seen yet which was a nice surprise.
this was an amazing read about what turned into a woman's obsession with finding the notorious killer haunting her home.
the writing was captivating and quite honestly, I didn't want the book to ever end. it's been a while since i've especially enjoyed an author's writing style. this could have been about the most mundane topic and I would have still loved it.
anyways, reading this made me realise what my friends must see or think when I bring up my love for true crime. but it also made me happy to know i'm not alone in finding an interest in such a dark yet intriguing topic.
my favorite murder introduced me to michelle and while im happy to have discovered this book, im sad that I didn't take an interest earlier, while michelle was still alive and active. I feel like I got to know her on such a deep level, that I know how ecstatic she would be with the news of the bastard's arrest and that she played such a huge role in finally hunting him down.
read this in one sitting and would like to apologise to my old supervisor, who recommended it, for taking this long to read this beauty
this was a lovely read. I was a little confused until it was spelled out for me, which was me being me ;w;
a great start to my oct spooky / dark reads. also I am very much in love with the cover, it's gorgeous.
i need to visit all the gardens and beautiful places described, i've never felt so jealous of a book before.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this but it was a surprisingly good read. I limited myself to reading a chapter a day, but I probably would have read it in a day if I hadn't.
after years of putting off reading this monster of a book, I decided to go with the audiobook instead and I'm so glad!
it was a slow start at first, but once I got into it I couldn't stop, though I did take a little break in the middle. I was quite literally on the edge of my seat at certain points, which I haven't experienced in a while.
I absolutely loved the writing, though tengo and eriko's relationship was a very uncomfortable thing to listen to.
I can't wait to read more of murakami's work now, and I've thankfully got a nice small list to go with!!
