Budući da su upravo ti likovi bili nositelji cijele priče, ova mi je priča bila najslabiji dio zbirke, iako ima svojih čari i svidio mi se način na koji završava. By brilliantly dissecting a mind unravelling in the wake of tragedy, Alex Schulman reveals the ways in which our deepest loyalties leave us open to the greatest betrayals. The book starts well and the first short story was addictive but many of the other stories were predictable, repetitive and too short to get absorbed. The subjects are sometimes bleak as heck, but lit through with beautiful, unexpected poetic reflections and even humor.

My favourite, "The Cicadas" is a strange Science fiction/Murder tale, the concept is very creative and keeps the attention throughout the story. naglasak koji stavlja na likove koji su više možda zlikovci nego heroji i splet okolnosti koji ih je natjerao da to budu. Jealousy hides behind a thirst for justice, drives you crazy, poisons your life and changes it for the better only if you can literally and figuratively remove your opponent.Dividido en dos partes, Celos y Poder, consta de 12 cuentos cuyo hilo conductor son los crímenes más diversos que estos sentimientos disparan.

The "Jealousy" stories are more traditional Nesbo tales ,the flawed characters ,the clever twists and intriguing situations that are very much in "traditional thriller" country. No u svima sam njima pronašla ono što i inače tražim u kratkim pričama: jezgrovitost, efektnost i snagu emocija koje su u njima prikazane. Of course, the limited length of a short story or a novella doesn't allow Nesbo to fully illustrate his immense skills in intricate plotting or his aptitude in meticulous descriptions, but his genius finds new ways to shine through the use of extensive dialogue parts where the characters ponder on a variety of issues regarding the human condition.Like seriously, I'm obsessed with his Harry Hole series, loved every standalone he's written and damnn these short stories were amazing. We meet a Greek detective who has become an expert on jealousy thanks to some hard-earned lessons from his private life. The Jealousy man and other stories is a brilliant collection of short stories that are twisted and have jealousy (obviously) and revenge as core themes! On the pages of the book, ingenious minds meet with vengeful hearts, insatiable greed and unscraped love to create a delicate mosaic that will delight all fans of dark and captivating stories.

The author was just in Tucson last weekend doing a reading and I fully meant to go and then somehow got distracted and missed it! You could say that the parents should understand that people who have paid extra to sit here do so because they need the sleep. Confesión es interesante en su construcción, la voz narrativa del protagonista el cómo va hilando sus pensamientos y el cómo se ve arrastrado en confesar lo que hizo. Mislim da bi se upravo ova priča najviše mogla svidjeti svima onima koji su u ovoj zbirci očekivali nešto nalik na uobičajenog Nesbøa.The first short story collection by Jo Nesbo and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this collection really blew me away with the range and depths of the ideas the author explores in these stories. Sé que la serie Harry Hole no es una obra de arte, pero la verdad es que le tengo cierto cariño, por eso quería leer al autor en otro estilo para ver si seguía disfrutando de su pluma. On leave from his Harry Hole novels, Nesbø delivers stories ranging from dystopian visions to time-honored tales of duplicity and revenge. 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.
