![]() ![]() It slowly got more interesting but most of it was a struggle to listen to! Any surprise to the reveals was quickly overtaken by boredom. ![]() The past time had a lot of everyday and insignificant details which made it feel so long. ![]() The transition from current to past tense was very subtle and sometimes I don’t realise we’re not in the present timeline anymore. Usually walking is the perfect activity to pair with audio books, but I just kept on losing focus!! I even tried to relisten to the first hour but I still have little recollection of it. ~ What I didn’t enjoy ~ This was really boring, drawn out and slow. Yu-Jin was a very complex and interesting character. The climax and ending was more exciting and captured my attention. The question is why? □ Focus on Yu-Jin □ Psychological thriller (not an exciting thriller though) ~ What I enjoyed ~ I liked the format, how we switch between present and past timelines and the mother’s dairy to learn more about Yu-Jin and what could have led to that moment. Book review: The Good Son by You Jeong Jeong Chillingly described as a psychopath’s coming of age, the story begins with 26-year-old Yu-jin waking up covered in blood and finding his mother’s body downstairs, with her throat slit. ~ Pick this up if you enjoy/don’t mind ~ □ Very slow pace and a slow burn □ Discover the murderer quite early on. Due to a medical condition he has little memory of what had happened the night before. ~ Quick Summary ~ Yu-Jin wakes up covered in blood and finds his mother murdered. Complex characters but boring and too slow. ![]()
