Narration Supposing Books As Red as Blood (Lumikki Andersson #1)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for teens—this international bestseller is a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat Nordic noir that chills to the bone, and not just because of the bleak winter setting.

Lumikki Andersson has made it a rule to stay out of things that do not involve her. She knows all too well that trouble comes to those who stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. But Lumikki’s rule is put to the test when she uncovers thousands of washed Euro notes hung to dry in her school’s darkroom and three of her classmates with blood on their hands. Literally.

A web of lies and deception now has Lumikki on the run from those determined to get the money back—no matter the cost. At the center of the chaos: Polar Bear, the mythical drug lord who has managed to remain anonymous despite hosting lavish parties and having a notorious reputation. If Lumikki hopes to make it out alive, she’ll have to uncover the entire operation.

Even the cold Finnish winter can’t hide a culprit determined to stain the streets red.

Evaluate Appertaining To Books As Red as Blood (Lumikki Andersson #1)

I completely enjoyed this! I wasn't sure what to expect (all the reviews were in Finnish) but I know that I love books with fairy tale twists and I adore mystery/thrillers. (Plus I haven't read enough!) The first chapter made me dubious, but then INTRODUCING Lumikki! And the book escalated to awesome. It's written in a more "thriller/mystery" style. So there's more POVs than just Lumikki and it's in 3rd person. I'm not keen on multiple POVs. I just don't connect to characters you only see

As Red as Blood by Salla Simukka is the first book in the projected Lumikki Andersson trilogy, and is superbly rendered into English from its original language by Owen Witesman. This young adult mystery crime thriller has much going for it with a plot that is simple and engaging, but the author in trying to give an added touch to its intensity has in a way spoiled the flow and coherence of the story. Having said that, Id like to insist that As Red as Blood is still one of the best novels I have

This YA novel in translation from Finnish has many of the hallmarks of the series it's been compared to, Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. That's not a bad thing, though. The writing here is tighter, though it follows some of the same overly-detailed contours which make me wonder if that's a particular writing style or done purposefully to be similar to Larsson's series. Lumikki lives by herself in a small apartment while she's attending an arts school. When she stumbles upon

I think this is more for the really "young adult" crowd in a literal sense. Some YA lit is well suited for everyone, no matter the age. But this one not so much. I was kind of bored with it, not that much happened. I also think the author tried to hard to make her mysterious and also tried to hard to make her seem bad-ass, better than everyone else.

2,5 starsThere's a line on the cover of this book that says this novel is being sold in over 40 countries. The only way I could understand that fact would be by someone coming to me and saying Salla Simukka was giving publishing rights to everyone for free. I mean, no way publishers in 40 countries wanted to pay for THIS. And don't get me wrong, this book isn't BAD, but it's just so average it hurts.Unoriginal characters, unoriginal story, unoriginal plot twists. I haven't been cringing my teeth

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Amazon Publishing and NetGalley.)I found this book really boring. It didnt suck me in, I didnt really get the fairy-tale references, and the main character made some pretty suspect decisions. The other characters all seemed less than intelligent, and why anyone would think that finding a bag full of blood-covered money was a good thing I dont know.I really dont want to read the sequel.4 out of 10

4.5 starsThanks Penguin Teen for the early copy of the US edition! This doesn't affect my review or opinions.This is out 1/17 in the US and already is out internationally!I didn't think I would like this book. At best I thought it would be a quick, average read. While it isn't a favorite, I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's my first mystery in some time and after this I'll have to look for more. I can't think of any books to compare it to, but it was a fun, intense, and mysterious
