(My library has multiple copies of The Snowman, only one of The Redeemer, which is noncirculating.)<br /><br />I can't read horror and torture and I don't read books packed with these themes, but if a book has a bit of it, I'll read it and skip sections. (I even did that with Stieg Larsson's books in a few places, as when there were descriptions of women having been mutilated terribly. I can't read that.)<br /><br />I don't know why Nesbo is writing this way. Nemesis was so good in plotting and characters.

Nesbo is certainly exciting to read, if you don't mind a few sections verging on schlock horror/torture which I have to say I do mind.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.com
