relentlessly dark

Revisado: 04-27-25

This is a relentlessly dark novel. If you think you would enjoy reading an entire chapter about a woman who needs to have her fingers stabbed with needles every 3 minutes in order to heal from her injury, this is the right book for you.

First half good, second half sophomoric

Revisado: 05-19-24

I'm an American who lives in France and speaks French. Even though I've been here a while I found some interesting tips and insights in the first half of the book. I can't understand why they selected a narrator who doesn't speak French very well. Ironic!

The second half of the book is filled with sophomoric insights into French culture that are biased and ill-informed.

This may be Christie's best

Revisado: 03-02-24

An elegant story with many twists and surprises. No major flaws in the logic. Fun and clever.

Great story and acting

Revisado: 01-23-24

I can't understand the negative reviews. This is brilliant but very demanding. If you have trouble following complex plot twists, this may be a challenge for you. But if you enjoy intelligent, disorienting drama, you'll appreciate this outstanding production.

Pulitzer Prize went to his head

Revisado: 03-13-23

His editor's need to rein him in but there's no controlling him since he got the Pulitzer,

He seems to feel that the artistry of his words and performance are now worthy of a Nobel and a Grammy. Not! This book is super tedious. In short, he takes 100 words to say what a normal person can say in 10 words. The he tries to inspire nonstop wonder with his over-the-top enthusiasm and enunciation

Unbearably terrible

Revisado: 03-08-23

One part romance novel, three parts B- term paper. This pretentious mess wishes it was great historical litt. Not! After dutifully trudging along for two excruciating hours, I found I was able to follow the remainder of the story by listening to the first five minutes of each of the remaining chapters. The underlying true story is fascinating. I guess that's what kept me going. But I should have returned the book and read about The personal librarian on Wikipedia.

Outstanding! Entertaining and informative

Revisado: 11-03-22

If only someone had corrected the narrator's pronunciation of "Guerre” du Nord and Dumas "fille". These silly errors were repeated frequently.

Otherwise, perfect!

Very interesting but absurdly overwrought

Revisado: 05-01-22

Very creative and interesting but absurdly overwrought. Countless improbable coincidences. Melodramatic soliloquies. I occasionally felt compelled to fast forward.
