Incredible prose

5 stjärnor

I wasn't really sure what to expect with this one - I'd enjoyed the TV adaptation - Oldman's Lamb is a great watch. Would the book stack up or would the show ruin it a bit for me?

I'm glad to say I really enjoyed reading this. Herron's writing is engaging and woven with humour throughout - it speaks volumes that many lines from the show are verbatim from the book.

Reading the text you have the advantage of point of view characters - which you can never quite get on TV. Hassan as the victim was well written giving the book an additional dimension I would say is its strongest point.

I felt the pacing was really good, blasting through some of the "duller" or laboured parts I struggled with in the show.

Keen to continue the series and (hopefully) slowly let them stand on …

Gripping and Fun

A friend told me that I'd like the TV series. But I wasn't ready to sign up for Apple+. So I borrowed the book from the library and WOW! I loved it.

A vicious little thriller

4 stjärnor

Here’s a great tale where everyone is a little broken and a little queer, the game is deception on top of deception. Everyone is trying to get ahead or back in the game or just keep their head. The coverup is the crisis and it all falls apart for some as it falls together for others.

Even within a chapter you get a clue and a mystery or two and a turn that makes you exclaim. Very fun.
