The Child

Een 10-jarig jongetje bekend een moord. Een moord die hij niet gepleegd KAN hebben, hij was toen nog niet eens geboren. De advocaat van de jongen gaat op onderzoek uit, en vind in de door de jongen beschreven kelder inderdaad de stoffelijke resten van een mens. Hierna volgt nog een bizar avontuur. Later ontvangt de advocaat een DVD in zijn brievenbus met daarop een jongen die sprekend lijkt op zijn eigen zoontje Felix. Hij krijgt 7 dagen de tijd om de moorden die het jongetje opbiecht te onderzoeken, zonder de politie te waarschuwen.

Een verhaal over regressie, reïncarnatie, en duistere zaken, vlot geschreven en soms echt spannend. Je kon goed de spanning en wanhoop van de hoofdrolspelers voelen op sommige momenten, zeker toen de jongen show more Simon door een louche makelaar en zijn vrouw werd meegenomen en het slachtoffer dreigde te worden van een bende pedoseksuelen. show less

Das Kind was the first book I read by Sebastian Fitzek. I read it during a sunny Sunday in April. I had a great time reading it. I liked the story, although I had hoped that the end would be a bit better than it was. His writing style was easy to read, so you can read this book really fast. After I read some German thrillers I need to say that I like them and I want to read more of them. They are a bit like Scandinavian thrillers, but more psychological. I would recommend this book to everyone would likes that kind of books.

Robert Stern, a defence lawyer, discovers his new client, a 10 year old boy is a serial killer - well in his past life he was! A thriller with a difference, one that makes you want to turn the page, and the next one and the one after that. If you like books with plenty of evil characters, then choose this - it will take you on an unforgettable ride, a dizzy ride. This is no run of the mill book.

Weer een mooie psycho-thriller van [a:Fitzek, Sebastian|13843066|Fitzek, Sebastian|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png], de auteur van [b:Passagier 23|24853162|Passagier 23|Sebastian Fitzek|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1431705343s/24853162.jpg|41340454]

This was my first Audible Dramatization, and if the rest are as poorly produced as this one, I think I'll skip the rest.

The production felt like it only acted out part of the book, and I had the feeling I was missing huge chunks of the story. It was very jerky, like watching bits and pieces of a movie and missing the logical steps and vital details. I haven't read the actual book, but I sure hope the book isn't like this, too.

The acting was okay, but the sound effects were terrible, and often overpowered the dialogue. This could have been an outstanding thriller (if you ignore the gaping holes in the plot), but overall it was very flat.

The 3rd book I that read by Sebastian Fitzek, always in the hope that this one will be as good as "Die Terapie" was. Unfortunatly none of his latest books were nearly as good. "Das Kind" was good to read. He has a nice way of story telling. Its not complicated, you can easily follow and he has a way of ending chapters that you really want to read on. The story line was too unbelievable to believe, that ruined it for me. As made up as books might be, I need the "this could actually happen" lifeline throughout the book. Until the end, where he gave us a lot of background info in a matter of a couple of pages, there was no lifeline. Maybe if he had given us the important information earlier... but who knows.

I am sure I will pick up another show more book by him. Just because I enjoyed "Die Therapie" so much.

Recommended as easy-reading literature. Dont expect too much though. show less
