Mein zweites Buch von Riley Sager und ich habe das selbe Gefühl, wie beim Ersten. Ich mag die Story. ich mag die Protagonistin. Sager ist großartig darin, Spannung und Atmosphäre zu erzeugen. Es ist gruselig und man genießt es und dann kommt man zum Ende und erfärht, was wirklich im Bartholomew vor sich ging und geht und irgendwie will es einen nicht so ganz zufrieden stellen. Das Ende ist nicht wirklich schlecht und hätte viel schlimmer sein können, aber trotzdem ist es enttäsuchend nach einem Buch, das man eigentlich so toll fand.
Ich liebe es aktuell Thriller zu lesen, dementsprechend war mal wieder ein Buch von Riley Sager fällig. Ich muss sagen, bei ihm ist es wirklich immer ein Hit or Miss und “Verschliess jede Tür” war wirklich ein Hit!
Wow. Dieser Plot.
3,75 Ende: 4 Sterne
<blockquote><b><i> “Never take anything you haven’t earned, my father used to say. You always end up paying for it one way or another.” </i></b></blockquote> Actual rating: 3.5 stars Not my favorite Sager book. I don't know, I liked the premise well enough, and up till 60% I was really intrigued and invested. But then the main character started to lose me a little, because she suddenly became very very dumb, doing the most obviously wrong things. I also didn't like the whole revelation of what was actually going on in the building as much. It felt a little...unreal? IDK, but I was a bit disappointed. I enjoyed the ending, though.
