Reviewed by NikaIch habe „Liebes Kind“ bei Netflix entdeckt und fand es gut. Doch zwischen Buch und Verfilmung gibt es immer Unterschiede - also wollte ich auch das Buch lesen. Anfangs fand ich die Serie ein wenig besser, gerade weil Hannahs Gedanken und ihre Art besser rüberkamen. Lange fand ich beides gleich gut. Doch zum Schluss kann ich sagen, das Ende des Buches ist um Längen besser als in der Miniserie. Es ist viel mehr, was hinter allem steckte und die Charaktere sind tiefgründiger.
Reviewed by Isabel Unfassbar spannend mit unvorhersehbaren Wendungen.
Reviewed by Gina-Marie Pfaffel71/2026 Ein heftiger Psychothriller, definitiv nichts für schwache Nerven. Beklemmend, brutal, tragisch und durchgehend fesselnd – dieses Buch erzeugt eine unglaublich düstere Atmosphäre. Durch die wechselnden Perspektiven bleibt die Spannung konstant hoch, und die vielen Plot-Twists haben mich mehrfach überrascht. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie bedrückend und zugleich emotional berührend die Geschichte war. Ein starker Psychothriller mit gelungener Auflösung, den ich absolut empfehlen kann. 🌟
Reviewed by JuliaHat mich leider gar nicht abgeholt. Kann den Hype nicht nachvollziehen. Aus der Story hätte man definitiv mehr machen können
Reviewed by BiancaEtwas andere Art der Erzählung. Die Geschichte war gut, die Umsetzung zum Zeil langwierig. Das Ende aber sehr spannend!
