It will definitely make you think.
I read in an English accent which made everything all the more creepy. Jake is not a good guy and he knows this. He doesn't apologize for it either. As he says "live. There is no God and that's His only commandment." This book is full of allusion and references most of which I'm not sure I caught.
This is a love it or hate it book.

Saga is amazing! (I hate using that word, but it is.) The action continually moves, and there is both war and love. The books seem thin, but there is so much packed into each volume that you feel satisfied, yet still hungry after reading one. In volume three, the different characters begin to cross paths. If you're still on the fence about picking this series up, it's time to stop debating. Read this!

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredible. The writing is at the same time lyrical and cinematic and absolutely breath-taking.

I was thouroughly invested in Janneke's love/hate relationship with Soren and how she dealt with the effects of her horrendous torture at the hands of a sadist.

Brilliant book.

"For me it is one of the most brilliant Mafia movies. Moreover it's the incarnation of the mythical erotic-romantic-tragic relationship between men and women. Beginning with love and ending with death. Isn't it the best description of this endless men-and-women love-hate system? And it's one of the best films about family as well. The protecting nest as miserable, dark shelter from an even darker existence of solitude."

Very disappointing book. The premise interested me and I was enticed by the blurb of this book. However, I found myself reading pages and pages of Leonie mooning over Patrice which went on far too long. There lacked substance to the explanation behind Patrick's past and I felt the conclusion of the book was empty and hollow. Hate reading books which you keep reading hoping for some twist or redeeming moment which just never appears.

"The cinematography and acting in this film was amazing but I like how Lynne Ramsey made the sound effects and the music so loud. And there's hardly any dialogue so that was really interesting contrast. I usually hate loud soundtracks, because they can't always deliver it well - as if “this music will make this more happening” or something. But this was so intentional that way. I like Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack music. He's really good. "

I went to see this movie in theaters. Then, I didn't watch this movie for a long time. So I heard a lot of the hate that formed around this movie. Then, recently, I needed to see for myself just how this film was. And I was pleasantly surprised. It's actually a really good movie! I really enjoyed it! I think that for me, personally, it was better than the first Avengers, but just slightly!

The Voice In My Head is tragic, beautiful, emotional, poignant, twisted....and pretty much every feeling you can think of. It's hard to put into words how much I struggled with the heavy topic....and yet loved it, because it make me laugh and cry, love and hate, and just so many things in between.

It's the kind of book that ruins you, really. But in unexpected -- somewhat wonderful and woeful -- ways.
