Ointressant och tråkig. Jag "kände" ingenting för karaktärerna och de var faktiskt rätt tråkiga. Alldeles för mycket beskrivningar på hur människor såg ut, vilka kläder en hade, hur rummet/platsen/huset/omgivningen såg ut osv. Det enda jag kommer minnas från boken är just de extremt långa beskrivningarna.

Förresten, uttrycket "diskret makeup" avskyr jag. Det är ett typiskt uttryck i deckare, och även vuxen skönlitteratur, som inte ger någonting till beskrivningen. "Hon hade diskret makeup" - okej, så... vad hade hon egentligen på sig? Ögonskugga eller inte, läppstift eller inte, bronzer/rouge/contour eller inte? Vilka färger/nyanser? Vad hade hon på sig, egentligen?

There are better Scandinavian thrillers -- this one seems to have some outlandish schemes going on and at least a couple of convenient coincidences. The story does move along pretty well and the sense of atmosphere is okay. I will probably read the sequels some day.

Schepp probeert veel te veel verhalen tegelijkertijd te vertellen, en ze zet ze op zich goed op, maar kijkt dan vervolgens niet verder naar hoe dat het complete verhaal verandert, en hoe alle karakters uitgediept kunnen worden.

I did not care for any of the characters and the extra details about their lives and realtionship troubles.
I thought the plot was poorly thought out and it was anyoning that the book gave us details from the girl's perspective and that we saw all those details again from the present perspective.

Väldigt spännande, men med ett tema som jag känner att jag inte har lust att läsa mer om. Tror inte jag fortsätter serien

This book was reminiscent of "The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larsen but only in some
ways. Marked for Life is Book one of a trilogy.
Both the authors and the story settings
are both Swedish, the plots both sort of gallop
along with a frenzied pace.
However, Emelie Schepp's Jana character is
nowhere near as strongly developed
as Lisbeth Salander.
Still, I'll be there for Book 2 "Marked for
Revenge" when it comes out in 2017.
