i finished this book a couple of days ago too and it is a superb book. it's those kind of detective books with a serial killer out on loose and one brave soul investigating on the horrendous murders that happened.
so there is this guy called harry hole who's the protagonist (i hope i get this term right) and well he's investigating in these few murders after the people died and he got a letter that prompts him to find "the snowman" who's supposed to be the serial killer.
so these people who were killed were all women and who have children already. plus they were all killed when the first snow falls. along the way there were more people killed and the way they died were... horrible.
there was one who was dismembered and there was another who had the head cut off and put on top of a snowman with the mouth sewn up to resemble a grin. it was kind of spine chilling to think about it.
actually what's so special about this book is how the author organised the series of events. it's in a way that leaves you in suspense before moving on to a totally different topic and sometimes the chronological order is different. the starting always make you flip back the pages and reread.
and that it includes loads of information that's well, educational! it mentioned Palov's (i think i spelled wrongly) theory on stimulated responses and quatam physics where everything is chaos. a great deal of logic i must say.
i think this kind of thought provoking books are great reads as compared to some books that are entirely, stupid. i dont mean those romance type (those are great for leisure reading), i mean those books that dont have exactly a plot/story/purpose in it.
i do hope to have enough time, well at least some time to read a good book next year. i do love reading.
