I can‘t really say this book kept me entertained, or even interested really? Most of it was pretty predictable and it felt about 100 pages too long. #LitsyReadingChallenge #published2007 @jessica

I finished this yesterday and am still torn on how I feel. Maybe it was the format that threw me off, I'm not sure. However, it was an interesting story with intriguing characters. I'm still trying to figure out who's point of view it was told from.

Started listening to @Liberty All the Backlist podcast (great idea, love it!) and when she mentioned this, remembered it is on my #LitsyReadingChallenge list for #LRC6 - #published2007 ! Seemed like a sign that I should finally crack it open. Here we go!

ferskner Whoa is this a new Book Riot podcast? 7y
MaureenMc @ferskner Yes, it's a short podcast that comes out on Fridays. 😊 7y
ferskner Fun! I will track it down! 7y

I think I've found another favourite crime series! The mix of violence and humour in this is so very Scottish. If you like your crime very bloody & graphic with a huge dose of Murphys Law & inappropriate humour thrown in, you'll love these books. 5⭐️🔪🚬🌧🔨🖕This is my #LRC6 #published2007 for the #LitsyReadingChallenge

#LRC6 #published2007 Arkady Renko reminds me of a Russian House. He simply doesn't know when to let things go. While House is driven by puzzles, Renko is guided by a sense of justice so strong it's dangerous. #maybeIjustwatchtoomuchHouse

JazzFeathers I like this definition. I read Gorky Park so many years ago, l don't really remember the character. But you made me curious. I didn't know there are more books about Renko 7y

I have complicated feelings about this book. I think it's an important story to tell and I think many people will learn something from it. We have to acknowledge that our actions affect people in harmful ways. That being said, I don't like that Hannah's death seems more like vengeance on the people who hurt her and less about mental illness. #LRC6 #published2007 #litsyAtoZ - A (Asher)

[DELETED] 1409720085 Totally agree. I felt like it was a weak portrayal of mental illness at best. Most of the time it seemed like Hannah only committed suicide to make others feel bad. There are much better books on this topic. 7y
MLVReads @emilydecato absolutely. Also, and not to let everyone around her slide for their bad behavior, everyone is dealing with different issues at any given time. As the story points out, many people were affected and/or haunted by their actions. And not all of them were against her, either. 7y
