Description
Joe Goldberg came to Los Angeles from New York to start over and hunt down the woman who broke his heart – Amy Adam. And then there's a cop who has taken a dislike to Joe, tailing him at different parts of the day while Joe is trying to tie up loose ends. We really see how far Joe is willing to go to get his way and how he changes his personality consistently; Joe’s past continues to haunt him. Your bed is supposed to have enough room for someone else and when that someone comes along, it’s your job to let her in. The kind of book you put your life on hold for' Glamour 'Clever and chilling' Elle 'A brilliant tale .
I was pleasantly surprised when the last 100 or so pages took the story in quite a different and unexpected direction, but it wasn't enough to turn the book around for me. If he had made it across that street, I can guarantee you that he would have gotten out of the jaywalking ticket.
Now, this is where I think Kepnes is a bit of a genius because we all fell for Joe in You, we kinda rooted for him even though we knew he was a creep. I expect to have to suspend a certain amount of belief when reading any book and although I was looking forward to this book I was not expecting it to have any real leaning on reality. Everyone she incorporates feels like someone I've met before, and at times, I wish I could be Joe and punish them for the things they say and do. If this were the only book I read, and I didn't know much about the original plot, it wouldn't have been a book I'd recommend to friends.
Going into Hidden Bodies we know just how much of a creep Joe Goldberg is, just what he is capable of. We mainly use Royal Mail Tracked 48 Service for goods which weight less then 2kg, all other goods will be delivered by a Courier. Her work has been translated into a multitude of languages and inspired a television series adaptation of You, currently on Netflix. The book starts with Joe falling for a girl, she doesn’t love him, she screws him over so he goes out for revenge.While I enjoyed several parts of it, it doesn't hold a candle to the first book and I'll explain why below. In You, he has reasons behind his violent acts - albeit, deluded reasons - but he leads the reader to believe he’s acting out of his own perverse conscience. It is more ambitious and wide-reaching than its predecessor and therefore slightly less sharp in its plot.
He equates the world he is living in to the SNL skit The Californians – after which I could not get that out of my mind.Generally I have a fairly clear picture concerning how I feel about a book and what exactly I will say in my video review. I mean you can also argue Joe was never capable of loving Beck in the first place, but my point is in regard to how Joe treats the new love interests in comparison to Beck when he claims to love them even MORE than her. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: true love.
For a tale as dark as a winter day, tuck into Caroline Kepnes' psychological thriller Hidden Bodies, the sequel to Kepnes' lauded You . I see his small life, it’s all in his eyes, unlived, dreams he didn’t chase, dreams he won’t chase, not because he’s a pussy, because he simply doesn’t see his dreams in detail, the kind of details that drive a person to pack their shit, to move. You will not mind having him weed out some of the pesky folk that have the unfortunate fate- to come up against him in the sequel- HIDDEN BODIES. In my opinion, the series just wasn't as good as the literary work, and quite simply, just didn't have the same kind of magic. I had a hard time reading YOU, book 1, a dark psychological thriller that is not a book for everyone.
Don't get me wrong, I was pleased with the fairly vague ending, however, just like with YOU, it felt incredibly rushed and not well thought out.
