Rezension von Sarah StöckleSpectacular, give me 1000 of them
Rezension von Hannah Was war das? Horror ist nicht mein typisches Genre, aber dieses Buch hat mich total angesprochen und ich bereue nicht, es gelesen zu haben! Ich mochte sehr, dass die Geschichte sofort angefangen hat, ohne viel Vorgeschichte und die Story hat mich sofort gepackt und bis zum Beenden (nur wenige Stunden später) nicht mehr losgelassen. Ich konnte das Buch nicht aus der Hand legen, erst weil es so spannend war, später weil ich es so gruselig fand und endlich eine Auflösung brauchte. Die Atmosphäre, genau wie der Gruselfaktor war wirklich gut, was ich von der vermeintlichen Auflösung halte, weiß ich noch nicht genau. Auch wenn man eine „Lösung“ bekommen hat, gibt es so viele Fragen, die noch offen bleiben. Ich mochte tatsächlich auch total, dass man während des Lesens so viel Miträtseln konnte, ob mir die Lösungen hinterher wirklich geholfen haben? Kaum, aber Spaß gemacht hat es trotzdem. Ich kann das Buch also echt empfehlen, und bestimmt lese ich durch das Buch noch einige andere Bücher dieser Art!
