Kniha ma v prvom rade zaujala pre mňa veľmi zaujímavou obálkou. Čítala sa ľahko, bola písaná živým štýlom, dej mal spád a nestagnoval. Avšak žiaľ, nebola to moja šálka kávy. Čakala som viac. Za celú dobu som sa zasmiala asi len jedenkrát. Štýl humoru mi proste nesadol. Príbeh bol zaujímavý, vyhrotenie a záver prekvapivé, napriek tomu som však bola sklamaná.

Více o knize
Now in paperback, Fred Van Lente’s brilliant debut is both a savagely funny homage to the Golden Age of Mystery and a thoroughly contemporary show-business satire. As the story opens, nine comedians of various acclaim are summoned to the island retreat of legendary Hollywood funnyman Dustin Walker. The group includes a former late-night TV host, a washed-up improv instructor, a ridiculously wealthy “blue collar” comic, and a past-her-prime Vegas icon. All nine arrive via boat to find that every building on the island is completely deserted. Marooned without cell phone service or wifi signals, they soon find themselves being murdered one by one. But who is doing the killing, and why? A darkly clever take on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None and other classics of the genre, Ten Dead Comedians is a marvel of literary ventriloquism, with hilarious comic monologues in the voice of every suspect. It’s also an ingeniously plotted puzzler with a twist you’ll never see coming!
