Book Review of Kennedy's Brain

Kennedy's Brain
Erinyes avatar reviewed A nice little mystery on + 279 more book reviews


I wasn't sure how much I was going to like this book but I was instantly transported into the books world. The translation is very very good. The only way I could tell it was written in a different language was the overall tone of the mystery. Mankell comes from a culture vastly different than my american one, and those differences are noticeable in the style and type of mystery.

The mystery itself is as much about how someone deals with the death of a son as much as finding out about Kennedy's brain. I think that part was the most fascinating to me. Watching this poor woman go through the worst of the worst case scenarios.
