Mike (the Paladin)'s Reviews > The Son

This is the second book I've read by Jo Nesbo and I frankly couldn't get into the first. I was "prevailed upon" by a Nesbo fan to try a different book, maybe not of the series Nesbo is well known for.

I've got to say that this is an excellent book. Time and time again the plot seems to be heading one way only to shift and surprise me. The characters while not all detailed are well done and throughout that book we will get to know Sonny better and better.

I even got to like him. Which can seem a bit...weird.

The depths of human nature come into view here and I suspect that on occasion you will (if you get involved in the book as I did) find your heart is involved to....again a bit odd for me.

I can recommend this one and do.
