The God of the Woods

Very good read

It was a nice read. The story just flows and keeps you interested in what's happening. The characters grow on you and the storyline gives them justice. I like that it was setup in the seventies, no mobile phones, no internet and no social media. Very well written!

Great Read. Well-written story that keeps you intrigued all the way through. Hard put to down book

Recommended by Stephen King. It was really a page-turner. The story is about the missing boy and girl in the period between ‘60 and ‘70. I am of the same generation as the girl and I particularly felt empathy with the girl, and also with the woman investigator.

The God of the Woods hat mich wirklich überrascht. Die Geschichte um das Verschwinden eines Mädchens in einem abgelegenen Sommerlager ist atmosphärisch dicht und emotional stark erzählt, mit vielen unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und echten Gefühlen. Die Charaktere wirken lebendig, und die Mischung aus Familiengeheimnissen, Klassenunterschieden und persönlichem Drama macht das Buch besonders. An manchen Stellen zieht sich die Story etwas und es dauert, bis man alle Fäden versteht, aber gerade das langsame Entfalten macht die Spannung auf seine Weise aus. Insgesamt ein fesselnder, nachdenklicher Roman, der noch lange nachklingt.

Romanzo

The God of the Woods was my first literary fiction, and I absolutely loved it. This book has so many layers and is deeply emotional in a quiet, powerful way. It places you inside different characters’ lives and allows you to truly see the world through their perspectives, reminding you that understanding people goes far beyond simple right and wrong. The writing is thoughtful, immersive, and reflective, and by the end, it even makes you understand yourself a little better. A beautiful, meaningful read that stays with you.
