On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting....

Eleştirmen yorumları

"As a writer, Carrère is straight berserk; as a storyteller he is so freakishly talented, so unassuming in grace and power that you only realize the hold he's got on you when you attempt to pull away. You say: True crime and literature? I don't believe it. I say: Believe it." (Junot Díaz)
"Mesmerising." ( Sunday Telegraph)
"Stunning." ( Evening Standard)

Reads as much about a series of monstrous crimes as human nature. Yet all true

Gripping. Narrator performance great pitch , tone.

This non-fiction works tells the story of murders that took place in the 1990s in France. The horrific nature of these killings is less in the fact of them themselves (although they are horrific) than in what they reveal about the capacity for a human being to perpetrate such a thoroughly extensive series of deceptions on those who most trust them (and who they say they love). Expertly told by Carrère, the story gets an additional twist towards the end as the perpetrator adopts a new story in prison, the story of his being born again as a Christian and witnessing for the Lord. Is this a new deception (even if also a self-deception) as the author seems to think, or is this a repentance we must accept as the truth, as the Catholic prison visitors who have converted the criminal claim? The criminal in question here was released on parole in 2019, so perhaps time will tell...

Awful events, compellingly told

An exploration of a very disturbed mind and how a person’s excellence at lying can get out of hand. I enjoyed the narration and how the authors own attitudes towards writing the story were set against the killer’s view of himself. Very thought provoking but a good yarn at the same time.

Fascinating and horrifying at the same time

Interesting and tragic story but the book doesn't hold the listener's attention. It is presented in a highly repetitive manner with little depth and meanders its way to nowhere of interest.

Wasn’t that impressed by this recommendation from Louis Theroux! Jumbled and without focus. Good job is was fairly brief.
