Recenzii
An intense, creepy, darkly funny read . . . a book focusing on the claustrophobic dynamics of a mother-son relationship that makes Mrs Bates and her son Norman look well-adjusted
A cool, crafty did-he-do-it thriller buoyed by a rising tide of madness. Provocative yet profound, humming with mood and menace, The Good Son will rivet readers of Jo Nesbo and Patricia Highsmith
Rightly compared to Stephen King
The queen of crime . . . You-jeong Jeong is shaking up the world of suspense with her particularly well-executed thrillers
Readers will be relieved that this is fiction, not real life. This book will pull you in; as you devour it, you might perhaps resent the author's relentless pursuit of the evil coiled within humans. But this, too, is human
Gripping and often gruesome . . . a disturbing story of the events that unfold after Yu-jin, 26, wakes up to find his mother in a pool of blood (we did warn you)
Jeong expertly inches up the tension in this crafty, creepy story of a psychopath's coming-of-age
Ingeniously twisted
Want to read an under-the-radar psychological thriller? Feel smug about pocketing The Good Son
A slow-burn psychological thriller with plenty of twists and things to think about
The gore is intense, but the psychological terror might never wash off
Absorbing . . . An unlikely thriller that we continue to read - thanks to Ms. Jeong's controlled prose . . . with a sickened sort of fascination. It's a testament to the author's skill and seriousness of purpose that she maintains suspense about her inhuman-seeming protagonist's fate until the bitter end
[You-jeong Jeong is] South Korea's Patricia Highsmith, able to convey the internal and manipulative logic of even the most disturbed minds, while spritzing her tales with commentary on the isolation that comes with modern prosperity
Dark, harrowing, horribly claustrophobic but hard to put down . . . You-jeong Jeong's novel speaks for a facet of the human condition that is more prevalent than we like to think
That night, when I started to follow the woman with the sparkling ring, I finally found a clue to unravelling the mystery. I suddenly realised what I was attracted to. I was attracted to someone feeling afraid.
Yu-jin is a model student, a successful athlete and a good son. But one day he wakes up covered in blood. There is no sign of a break-in and there is a body downstairs. It is the body of someone he knows all too well . . .
Yu-jin struggles to piece together fragments of what he can remember from the night before. He suffers from seizures and blackouts. He knows he will be accused if he reports the body, but what to do instead? Faced with an unthinkable choice, Yu-jin makes an unthinkable decision.
