The Son | Jo Nesbo
Mehso-so

Listened to the audio version of this. I like Jo Nesbo and know his books have darker tones and flawed heroes but this one was not engaging at all. It just dragged on and on. The characters felt very one dimensional and the *surprise* ending wasn't much of a surprise. I finished it mainly because I was waiting for holds on other audiobooks. The narrator was good even though the story didn't do it for me.

Most of my #NordicNoir collection ❤

emilyhaldi Wow!! 👌🏻 6y
Mdargusch Which one is your favorite? I need to read a Nordic noir for a challenge. 6y
Martta @Mdargusch 🤔 I'd definitely go with either Hjort&Rosenfeldt or Kristina Ohlsson books. Those are my absolute favourites at the moment! 😊 6y

Just finished and it took me forever. The ending picked up but this was not my favorite Nesbo.

alanacristin This gives me some hope for Nesbo's other books after hating The Bat! 7y
Blueberry @alanacristin I know his Harry Hole series is popular but I couldn't like him. 7y
Bklover Loved The Snowman. Will have to read The Son! 7y
andrew61 I enjoy nesbo, although i need to move on to the next after the phantom but I'd recommend The Redbreast which looks at an interesting aspect of Norway during ww2 7y
JillR I love Jo Nesbo and have read most of the Harry Hole series... I haven't read The Son though, so that's going on my list! :) 7y

Jo Nesbo's imagination is terrifying. Love everything he writes. But, scared to death to ever visit Norway. 😨

amywithbooks Have you read Headhunters yet?! That was FREAKY. 8y
Beckys_Books @avgeyer YES! And I watched the movie. Loved it. 8y

I could read for 30 more minutes and then watch the debate or I could just keep reading. Yep, life is too short to watch two grown men argue.

THIS BOOK! If you like crime fiction and police procedurals, you must read this book. Intricate storytelling and a total thrill ride. Also, the last few lines are ??? Can't wait to read more Nesbø!

MyNamesParadise I'm going to have to add his books to my never ending TBR list!! 8y
