Maagisen realistinen, kauhea Turku

4 stars

Tämä saattoi olla kivuliampia kirjoja, joita olen ikinä lukenut. Suunnilleen kaikki itseinhoiset, katkerat, epätoivoiset, voimattoman raivoisat ajatukset joita olen ikinä hautonut löytyvät Hävityksen kansien välistä. Lupaus maagisesta realismista Turussa houkutteli minut avaamaan teoksen, mutta minut sai pysymään sen parissa vimmainen teksti, joka ei hetkeksikään hellittänyt. Upea, upea kirja.

Die Hard as a horror story

4 stars

It's a thriller / horror story that feels like a carefully staged board game. It's a reverse Die Hard in a super-fancy hotel. It's intense, brutally violent, clinically detached yet compassionate towards its characters. It's just great.
