I don’t really get why this is famous

Revisado: 06-25-19

The book was okay, and the narrator did a good job of it (not trying to hard to sound hip and cool which is always important when reading teen characters imo). But the book is just kind of tame. I get that it’s supposed to be relatble, but the «mystery» in this book, is so flimsy you could blow at it and it would fall apart. The conflict surrounding the whole gay thing doesn’t seem very genuine, and not for a moment does it seem like this is written from a boys perspective. This book feels like it was written by a woman that has absolutely no idea about what it’s like to be gay or a guy for that matter.
But I might particularily picky because I don’t like teen drama novels that much since they are as mentioned, kinda tame.

Don’t bother with the last five hours

Revisado: 06-25-19

The beginning of the book was absolutely fantastic. My heart was beating in my chest. The mystery and tension made me incapable of putting it away. Then as the book was building up into some kind of resolution it fell completely flat. The characters development arch was uninteresting, cliche and outright boring when the story revolved around the adults. Some of the creepy (and outright disgusting) things that happened seemed to be there not to give some logical solving of the problem, but instead was sprinkled in because the author couldn’t come up with an actual solution to the mysteries.
This whole thing lasts 47 hours and it all feels like a waste of time since I won’t bother to listen to the last few hours. I honestly expected way better by such a famous and recognised author.

I really liked the narrator though and his reading of this was perfect, but it still doesn’t change how bad this book turned out to be.

Also want to add a warning (SPOILER) about the fact that this book contains descriptions of sexual acts with children involved. Think it’s important just to be warned, because it’s a pretty messed up scene in the book.

Stephen Fry is an amazing storyteller! The stories truly come alive, while we are being served interesting facts and connections between names and words. Nothing heavy or drawn out, but you still get the feeling of a whole universe being introduced to you in this book. Funny and entertaining, while still factual and cause for reflection.
