The Boy at the Door Alex Dahl Books Reviews

1.5 stars

Before I begin my actual review, let me say that I realize every book is not for every reader so just because I really did not like the book does not mean others will feel the same way. Part of my mistake with this book was that I usually DNF a book if I get 50-100 pages in and I am not enjoying it. I should have done this with The Boy at the Door, but several people told me the ending was worth it. The ending was very much not worth it for me. Moreover, almost every character in this story is HIGHLY unlikable and portions of the story make no sense or are very unbelievable. And I never could fully understand the title which is another pet peeve of mine. The boy didn’t show up at the door - he was left at a swimming pool, and Cecilia was asked to bring him home.

The part of the book I did enjoy was the setting – I loved learning about the Norwegian area in which the book was set, and the author does a nice job evoking the feel of the town. Unless you are a diehard thriller reader, I would pass on this one.
I almost gave up on this book several times. The principal narrator is not a likeable person, and some of her ramblings seemed unnecessary, but hints of problems and/or misdeeds kept me reading. Eventually the various elements come together to tell a very good story. It is followed by a series of discussion questions which should be useful to reading groups.
Couldn't put it down.
Interesting read. Well written. Held my interest.
great book just what i thought it would be
I'm so happy to have a new Scandinavian author to add to my must read list!
This has been a very interesting read. Alex Dahl is right on with her discription of the characters and locations. I felt as if I were in some of the scenes.
Still thinking about this book. Glad I stuck with it.
