Goodbye Days - Jeff Zentner

Goodbye Days
von Jeff Zentner

Bewertet mit 4 Sternen

After reading Serpent King, a book that crushed me, i couldn't wait for "Goodbye Days". When I saw the approval by Netgalley, I jumped. Up and down. While at work. Several times. My joy needed to get out of my body. Sadly, after having read "History is all you left me" by Silvera, this came around a bit too soon. I feel as if you can only read this many grief books at a time. At first I did had my difficulties, then my great aunt died during my read and I felt as if NOW I had to relate, right? With the griefing? Well... kinda not so. My problem, and this is personal, is that I need a longer grief period. As with Silvera Zentner makes it seems as if he expects you to be fine in a 4 weeks course. So all your friends died? In a month you should be fine. That's not working for me. I liked his approach on panic attacts and therapy. Also the goodbye days were adding the much needed spice to the story. As soon as these started this was my book. The investigations gave a little thrill to it all. So all in all Zentner knows how to do it. He is a great writer. I really do like him. For my personal taste, this could have been better, but wasn't bad. It is solid. A nice read, that I kinda enjoyed ( I mean it's about death and griefing... not so fun ). Am looking forward for his next book! I am definetely hooked!
