THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE [Stuart Turton] Spoiler-Free REVIEW

Ойын-сауық

In today's video I review the recently released "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle", a debut novel by Stuart Turton. It's a mystery/crime novel set in the 1920/30s, that reminds a little of Agatha Christie while putting its own very unique spin on it. It's instantly become a new favourite of mine and I highly recommend it to everyone! xx

    hi, can you tell me whats the difference between "the seven deaths of evelyn hardcastle" and the seven 1/2 deaths of evelyn hardcastle"? I'm quite confused... i found both versions and the describtions make them seem identical..

    They're the same! I believe they were just published under slightly different names in the UK and US! :)

    They’re the same book. I believe the title was slightly changed because of how similar the title was to another book called “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,” which came out around the same time.

    This is such a staggeringly brilliant premise that is then executed stunningly. Extraordinarily original, atmospheric, intelligent and fiendishly complex novel that I really loved. Thanks

    Finding this after my third read of this book and gosh, if this book isn't my new favorite. I'm a hardcore Agatha Christie stan and this just was so perfect and enjoyable. One of the few books I legitimately had to read in one sitting the first time.

    Im not quite done with this book but i have been loving every page. This book grabbed me the first few pages. This is my first time ever taking notes while reading, i dont want to miss anything! Usually, I'm so overwhelmed when there are too many characters but i love how Stuart Turton organizes them all and makes the characters so unique to where its hard to forget any of them. I have seen some people say they couldnt get into the book because it was too much jumping timelines, a bit too confusing and i completely understand that. As for me, i love mysteries like this. I love time loops. I love the beautiful environment Stuart paints to make the reader feel like they're really there. I love love love this book! And I'll definitely read it again!

    this book is one hell of a ride, I dived into this book without even reading the blurb and omg it made the reading so much fun. I was completely clueless when Aiden woke up in butler's body I was like 'did we just switch perspective' after re-reading the entire chapter I got the hang of it and then I was glued to it until the end. I just can't describe how much I loved this novel

    who is the footman? I've finished the book but I don't think there's an explanation of why is there a footman trying to kill Aiden's host and what is his motivation?

    The footman is just a regular person. He’s not like Anna, Daniel or Aiden. Where their trapped in body’s, the footman was really just a bonus of Daniel’s character. Daniel had gave money to the footman, and Silver tear supplied them of aidens hosts and times they awake.

    Just do a hang-out. You have >15K fellow bookies subbed to your channel. I suspect they'll talk lots on books, a bit on languages, life in Austria, spending a year in Japan & visiting Iceland, & maybe movies. Just be yourself. Yup, I can see it now. Movie mogul sees your live-show & makes a movie of it. A star is born! :-D Lots of booky people have done hangouts, like Thoughtsontomes, elizziebooks, etc. This person kzread.infovideos only talks about books sometimes but does a live-show every couple of months & her channel is hardly large. Your English skills are probably superior to mine & I'm a native speaker. Theresa FTW! U can do this. See this & have an Austrian laugh kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIphmNObhau8p9o.html

    This book IS the shitshow and a disaster! I read the first 66 pages and wanted to give up! I "angry read" the rest of it just to see what all the fuss was about! The plot is convoluted, full of holes; the characters are unlikeable and boring! The disdain the author has towards fat people is disgusting - he spends entire paragraphs fat shaming, yet rape barely gets a breezy mention! There is barely a mystery, the ending did not make sense at all! I cannot say strongly enough how much I HATED this book!
