The Jealousy Man: From the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author of the Harry Hole series

Product Information

I think I enjoyed this book because I was already a Nesbo fan, but if you haven’t read him or any Nordic Noir before, I don’t think this is the best place to start. The hangover that raises a did he/didn't he smokescreen in 'Trash' is equally impressive and - more importantly - entertaining. For good reason, too, as the robbery, the murder, the suicide, the murder all fold into one engrossing tale of lies, deception, and murder.

Kratke su priče upravo to - kratke, jezgrovite cjeline s ograničenim brojem likova, koje se fokusiraju na samo jedan bitan događaj, no koje su ipak cjelovite i na čitatelja trebaju ostaviti jak dojam. Me gustó, en especial el final pues dentro de todo el protagonista mantuvo su brújula moral de siempre, pero fue capaz de obtener lo que quería.

El hombre celoso es una antología de doce relatos que se dividen en dos temas cetrales: celos y poder.The Antidote" is the story of a powerful father and his troubled son with his own addiction problems, however the father is one jump ahead of the son in a clever though dark conclusion. I don’t know whether you realised yourself that it was strange to be still referring to this person as your best friend, but I couldn’t see that it was any of my business to point it out to you. I have not read all of the author’s previous work but I’m familiar with his successful series featuring the enigmatic investigator, Harry Hole. Truyện dài nhất, The Jealousy Man, không quá xuất sắc, nhưng những truyện siêu ngắn (tầm dưới 50 trang) trong phần nay lại khá ấn tượng.

It was poor in comparison to the others and I struggled with some of the scenes in it - a bit far-fetched in my opinion. There were a few stories that were very good and I would have liked them to have made decent novels but generally this book dragged.One senses that Harry would not be so reluctant if his time came, and yet this compulsive, obsessed, hard-boiled, self-destructive loner is irresistibly endearing. But I understand it is not part of the series for which he is best known (the Inspector Wallander series), and I suppose I will give him another try one of these days. Así es como nos cuentan historias de asesinatos relacionados con estos temas, el cómo ambos pueden corromper incluso a aquellos que menos lo pensaríamos. They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night.

Normally I race through a book of short stories quite quickly, because they are consumed in easily digestible chunks – like grazing on snacks rather than consuming a three course meal. Let me clear my throat here so - ahem - before I speculate that he was, perhaps, a goalkeeper because he certainly is a safe pair of hands when it comes to spinning yarns. They weren't as twisty or suspenseful as I liked but it's hard to maintain that level of drama when a story is short; some were predictable but still worth a read. Nesbo nos trae varios cuentos, unos cortos y otros no tanto, que tienen como eje central los celos y el poder, sobre todo los celos masculinos. Roberto Bentivegna, who recently sold his high-profile Gucci screenplay to MGM with Ridley Scott directing and Lady Gaga starring as Patrizia Gucci, is adapting the script for The Jealousy Man.But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov? The first entitled London is outstanding and my favourite story as I love the clever twist at the end which makes me smile, albeit wryly. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago. Famed for his deft characterization, hair-raising suspense and shocking twists, Nesbø’s dexterity with the dark corners of the human heart is on full display in these inventive and enthralling stories. Coming from an author whose full-length thrillers I’ve always really enjoyed, The Jealousy Man and Other Stories was, on the whole, a big disappointment for me.
