A CRIME STORY. A LOVE STORY. A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON. MORE THAN 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD
“It’s that most engaging of treats, a big, fat, intelligent thriller” SIMON MAYO
“It’s a terrific story and I’m loving it” PHILIP SCHOFIELD
August 30, 1975. The day of the disappearance. The day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence.
That summer, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from his yard, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him a household name. Quebert is the only suspect.
Marcus Goldman – Quebert’s most gifted protégé – throws off his writer’s block to clear his mentor’s name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of ‘The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America’.
But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.
Translated from the French by Sam Taylor

What a page turner!!
I’ve been wanting to read this book for some time and I finally got my hands on this book.I’m a slow reader and I usually read only before going to bed.However, this book kept me reading during my lunch hour at work and after dinner, too.The stroy gets interesting and I simply wanted to know what will happen next.After I finished this book, I was kind of sorry that I couldn’t continue.Since I like Patrick Dempsey, I watch the film, too. But as usual, book is 100 times better than film.

Gripping and very twisted
I’m Italian and I read English books for learning purposes, so I start my review with the language, that is very clear. It’s written in pretty straight style and the translation into English makes it easy to understand. Recommended from this point of view.Secondly, I’m fond of thrillers and this one is definitely very thrilling. A bit too complicated to me, but this is personal preference. Maybe most readers would appreciate this feature of the plot.Last but not least, the start is slow and it gets faster and faster by the page. It required a good amount of trust to go ahead after the extract, but it paid off.

BUONO MA “INUTILMENTE LUNGO”
Il libro (che acquistai last-minute dalla app prima di iniziare il volo per la Cina – scelta ottima perchè mi accompagno durante tutte le successive 18 ore del volo) è scritto bene, si legge rapidamente e la storia regge ma a volte è davvero prolisso…dice cose inutili che allungano inesorabilmente il “brodo”…. i misteri da risolvere sono essenzialmente 2 ed io non ci sarei mai arrivato. Comunque non è ancora uno scrittore di livello assoluto, deve essere un pò meno scontato in alcune parti, anche se il potenziale ce l’ha… inoltre mi ricordo che rilevai un bel buco di sceneggiatura ma non mi ricordo quale…

Avvincente
Nonostante alcuni particolari della storia non mi abbiano convinta al 100%, come ad esempio certi errori da dilettante dell’investigatore a capo dell’indagine, do comunque una valutazione alta, perché questo libro mi ha tenuta incollata alle sue pagine fino alla fine. E’ uno di quei romanzi che non riuscivo a smettere di leggere, perché dovevo assolutamente scoprire come si sarebbe concluso. E oltre ad aver apprezzato il finale, dettaglio non così scontato, ho trovato anche la piacevole sorpresa di un risvolto imprevisto, cui non avevo per niente pensato.

Un bel giallo coinvolgente con colpi di scena
Una detective story molto coinvolgente: una volta iniziata a leggere è difficile non finirla. Ha continui colpi di scena. Lingua scorrevole, anche letto in lingua originale. Per chi cerca un grande approfondimento psicologico non è esattamente il libro giusto ( alcuni aspetti sono anche poco realistici); però per chi vuole una lettura che lo faccia allontanare dai problemi quotidiani, immergendosi in una storia con suspense, allora sì, è consigliabile.

scoperta
Trama avvincente seppur intricata, con molta dinamicità e molti colpi di scena.Difficile da mettere giù, se non quando sì arriva alla fine.Inglese molto semplice e conversazioni fluide e dinamiche.Consigliato come masterpiece moderno e come allenamento di lettura inglese

After decades of devouring mysteries I have a pretty good handle on whodunit in most cases. This book was beyond my detective skills. If you enjoy murder mysteries which keep you guessing then you cant go wrong with this one.

I loved the story and how, with Marcus you are learning (in his pace) the truth about the affair between Harry quebert and 15-year-old Nola Kellergan, who after 33 years of disappearance was found death in Harry’s backyard. This thriller has everything! Love, friendships, betrayal, mystery. My only complaint is that on some parts I just felt it too long, as if the author was giving me a lot of unnecessary details. But overall a great, easy to read novel!
