Another Time, Another Life: The Story of a Crime (2) Audiobook

" Bring it on. Slowly skewerning mediocracy. "

" The narrator is dreadful. A good narrator can make even a mediocre book great, but in this case, what might be a good book is, unfortunately, ruined by a terrible narrator. "

" Pixar's rule of storytelling #19 says: "Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating." According to this rule, the whole book is full of such cheats - the cops never find anything by themselves, they are always told by someone who makes a sudden appearance in the story :-)) The space among such unexpected revelations is filled by dull details and mentoring which do not add to the story. Great plot but very poor execution. "

" I felt the story was too overcomplicated and difficult to follow. "

" I didn't care for the book at all. I listened to it and that might have been some of the problem, but I didn't even like the way it was written. I found it to be confusing going back and forth, and the swedish names made it even more so. I found myself wishing for a character named smith. Overall I felt it was just too slow in getting to the point of the plot. By the time it ended, I was glad to be finished. I probably shouldn't have even bothered finishing it, but I hate to start a book and not finish. "

" Was ok but lost interest 3/4 of the way through so I moved on to something else. "

" I gave this book 150 pages and just couldn't get into it. Poor translation? I don't know but it was just to wordy to move the story along for me. And then I looked at the stack of 6 books waiting to be read before their due dates and decided to pack it in. "

" This was the second book I tried by this author. I didn't like his other book, but thought I would try this since in this one he writes about the assasination of Olaf Palme. But, unfortunately, didn't like this one either. Too slow,and I couldn't connect with the characters. "

" If you like Swedish Noir this is not a book/writer you want to miss. Outstanding. "

" A thoroughly satisfying read. Dark and absorbing. Makes me wonder why Nordic writers are so adept at creating searing political murder mysteries. Shades of Nesbo "

" A well-crafted story inhabited by an eclectic cast of characters all of whom, it seems, wrestle with the definition of "justice". "

" Reading it felt like slogging through mud. I finally gave up. Life's too short. "

" a good story, but the writing was pompous and overdone. for everything a character says, we also have to read the hidden or unspoken thought. it's an overly-clever ploy that gets tedious quickly. i liked all the familiar spots in stockholm. "
