Blind Spot: Quick Reads 2022

Product Information

Todo ello es puesto a prueba cuando Jake, su esposo, es encontrado muerto brutalmente en su residencia y a su mejor amigo, Ryan, junto a él con el arma homicida en sus manos. Un punto de inflexión donde comenzará a ver más allá de la “fantasía” en la que vivía.

Básicamente la trama está dirigida a que una mujer y un hombre no pueden ser amigos sin llegar a más. A estas alturas de la vida tengo que seguir leyendo sobre estas cosas🙄. The movie, which was released the following year, disappointed a lot of fans of the book. The London setting was replaced to odd effect with a train travelling through the upscale suburbs of New York. “Everyone was much richer and more gorgeous,” Hawkins remarks, and although she thought the film worked pretty well, she understood the complaints. “I get the whole thing about losing the gin and tonic in the can. And the much drabber houses.” The only vaguely British thing about the movie was Emily Blunt – “a very good egg. You can go to the pub with her and have a laugh.” I’d rather be ambitious and fail than just do the same thing over and over. And how do you even do that?No voy a mentir, me ha enganchado desde el principio y Paula Hawkins me parece que tiene una pluma muy buena, ya que va directa al grano sin ningún tipo de rodeo, y además los capítulos son cortísimos.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry: The Ultimate Guide to Celebrating Christmas with the Best Drinks Books On The Shelves El final es lo más sinsentido del universo: 0 unidades de gracia, sinceramente y 0 creíble (aunque me ha gustado cómo el karma les ha pateado el culo). Blind Spot centers on a trio of friends: Edie, Jake, and Ryan. However, when Ryan stops by for his weekly run, someone has murdered Jake. Who did it? Es un libro bastante corto y básicamente empieza con el asesinato del marido de la protagonista, quien es encontrado por el mejor amigo de ambos.En él nos encontramos con la historia de Edie, quien desde muy pequeña se sintió orillada a madurar pronto y a encontrar su fortaleza e independencia, pero con ello también su soledad. Este es el segundo libro que leo de la autora y la misoginia que he encontrado en ambos es enorme. ¿Por qué hay que enfrentar a las mujeres todo el tiempo, llevándolas a competir y compararse constantemente, llegándose a odiar a muerte? History Makers: Female Writers Dominate the 2023 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award Shortlist Primo romanzo della Hawkins che finalmente riesco a leggere, nonostante i suoi precedenti siano in lista da quando sono usciti.

La puntuación real sería un 2,5/5. No voy a redondear al alza porque el relato no me ha aportado nada y porque tampoco es que me muriera de ganas de ir viendo qué ocurría. Sencillamente, se deja leer. Solo con haber pulido mejor determinados aspectos, hasta hubiera sido perdonable lo de que los personajes fueran planos. Hay cuestiones morales que se plantean muy brevemente y que podrían haber provocado debates interesantes, pero todo queda como una anécdota.La protagonista además de sobrellevar su duelo, se ve inmersa en situaciones que descubre de su ahora difunto marido y su mejor amigo ¿Será ella el último eslabón en un plan de venganza que llegará desde el pasado? Nuvela e slăbuță, are defecte în construcție care o duc înspre telenovelă. Însă principalul defect al cărții e dimensiunea ei. Intriga, chiar așa enervantă cum e, ar fi trebuit construită mai atent și avea nevoie de mult mai mare spațiu de desfășurare pentru tot iureșul de surprize pregătit cititorului.

In the weeks and months that followed the publication of the novel, there was no single moment when Hawkins understood what it would become. “It’s a series of moments where you go ‘Oh; oh god,’” she says. “At the beginning it was like, ‘The book is No 1, oh, wow.’” Then, she says, word came through that, “Oh, Reese Witherspoon read it” – always a good sign that a novel is tipping into a phenomenon. The momentum built, US sales started to go through the roof, the movie went into production and “it was genuinely thrilling. And mostly very happy. But yes, there was also a point when you think ‘Oh, this is all too much. It feels too big for me, being not a particularly extroverted person.’ It becomes a little bit frightening.”

Guerrilla Learning: How to Give Your Kids a Real Education With or Without School (2001) (with co-author Grace Llewellyn) (ISBN 978-0-471-34960-0) Obviously, I am a big Paula Hawkins fan. In fact, she is on my top 10 list of favorite authors. What I love about her books is that I never see the end coming. However, Blind Spot is a huge disappointment. 32% into Blind Spot, I had figured out who did it and why.
