Triptych (Will Trent, #1)

EDIT: Reread as of December 1, 2015
Sometimes, if I'm in a good mood, I believe in second chances. That's why we have rehab because some people need to have another shot.
I decided to give Triptych another chance because Hridya said that Michael (the fucktard who I thought was the lead) is not the hero of this book but Will Trent. I should have known this obvious fact because Will Trent's name is the also the name for this series. Sometimes my stupidity astounds me.
Anyway, so there I was, rereading this book and here are my thoughts.
The Good
The gore. My goodness the gorey scenes in this book is amazing. I love my crime books dirty and gritty and Karin Slaughter gave that to me so kudos to that.
The character: John Shelley
I actually feel sorry for this dude. He's the type of character that needs to have a second chance. I was horrified with what he experienced inside the prison and I love the way he stood up with himself in the end.
The character: Will Trent
Because.
The Bad
Maybe I'm not that sold to this book because I found out who's the motherfucking bastard in this story. I was already half way in the book when I realized who's chopping the tongues of those teenagers and lemme tell you, that took the thrill out of the book.
I also find the out of order flashbacks of John Shelley's life annoying. I think the author did that to make it interesting but it didn't work for me. It only add confusion and I was like meh.
The Evil
The characters. All of these fucktards are in my shit list.
Let me start with Angie-
First of all bitch, I don't like you. How can I when you're an ungrateful twat who loves to hurt those around you. You use people like a discarded tissue and I never liked how you use Will like he's your fuckboy or something.

Michael
Of all the motherfuckers, you are the motherfuckest. Fuck you, dipshit.

Michael's mother
I forgot the bitch's name but trust me, she's a bitch. Fuck you too.
*
I do not like infidelity (who the fuck does?) that's why when I found out that our wonderful hero has an affair with a 15 year old girl, I stopped reading immediately. Don't try to change my mind, trolls .That's just gross.I'll be reading more of Karin Slaughter's works in the future but for now..

Thanks Donita! That's Gina in Brooklyn99. She's weird and hilarious :)

@Sharon: Hahaha! Thanks dear :)
@Aj: Tenchu :) I try to be smart every now and then :)
@Jilly: I don't wanna. I don't wanna. I don't wanna. Hahahaha

Wait, what?!

A friend of mine also thinks that Michael is the hero of the story..Who is the hero? WHisper it to me..

I was more annoyed than anything with this book. Maybe it was that our "hero" Michael the married cop was having sex with the 15 year old kid next door or maybe it was the fact that I grew up i..."
The hero is Will Trent! (I have a thing for sweet/damaged/flawed characters, so I really liked him. I don't know if you read about him already, I think he's introduced pretty late?) But do you want to know who Michael really is?

Sweet raptor Jesus. I'll probably read it again after knowing Will Trent is the hero. The only reason why this didn't work out is because I thought michael is the hero and blech.


I'll probably read this one again because Michael is not the hero ( as Hridya said). :) I love crime book and Slaughter is one of the best :)

I'll read this as soon as I can stomach Michael's ewness. But I'm glad you like this!

Trust me, I was dry-heaving every time Michael was around. Will makes up for it though

I really thought Michael is the hero but oh well, good thing some people set the record straight :)

Oh I could write an essay on how much I love Will!! You should comment on this thread or something after you finish reading it, I'd love to know what you thought of him.

Sure will!



Thanks Cynthia! I kinda forgot this series exists so I might read the next books. hahaha



I wiiiill read it soon :) I'll just have to get my own copy :) A lot of people love her books so I might give them another chance. The gory scenes are to my liking and that's a plus �
We need to fangirl after I read the second W.T book :)


Hi Mary. It's been awhile since I've read the book and I'm currently looking for my copy so I can re-check that part where the 15 year old died and Will found out.
I'm curious about your thoughts about the book. :)
