This is one of those books that reminds me all over again why I love to read. This is my second time reading this book-it is one of my all-time favorites-and it does not disappoint. The plot jumps back and forth between 1994 and the present day, which is especially effective in the very end as the suspense builds up and the jumps get quicker and quicker. In 1994, nine select students have been invited to a very special college class, taught by a convicted murderer from his prison cell, all about the most elusive author of them all, Paul Fallows. In the present day, the students from the night class have reunited, but quickly realize the class never really ended.I almost missed my train stop multiple times, and grabbed every second I could to read this book, and that's reading it for the second time. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I never thought of my life that I will be rating this one star. The rave reviews are preplexing. The writing style was written beautifully and the idea of the book was promising. However this book has so much intrigue that it actually turned me off. I did not have a clue what the content of the story was about.I enjoyed a few characters but not enough to talk about it. I know the story was about literature and murder but that is all I got. The story kept drifting from Past to Present. Most of it was not making any sense and it left me very frustrated.Nothing about this book was a mystery or a thriller. I REALLY wanted to enjoy it but I found it forgettable.
What do You think about La Cella Del Male (2011)?
Not bad, but got a little convoluted. End was great -- did not see it coming at all.

A pretty solid, twisty-turny academia thriller.

This tried for thrilling but was only absurd.
