Pyromania

by Steen Langstrup

Gløderne i sjælen har været der længe.
Måske altid. Det er ikke til at huske.
Men i aften er det, som om der er blevet pustet til gløderne. Det brænder.
Ilden er brudt ud af sit fængsel.

En pyroman hærger i København. Syv unge er tilfældigvis i nærheden, da den første brand bryder ud, men det ser mere og mere ud til, at ilden forfølger dem , og efterhånden må de se i øjnene, at pyromanen åbenbart er en af dem selv!

Endnu en gang kan jeg ikke få hænderne ned af begejstring for Steen Langstrup. Han er virkelig den mest talentfulde forfatter vi har i Danmark i mine øjne.

Kan slet ikke se hvad folk synes er så fantastisk ved bogen.

I think this book was okay, and that it was well written in the aspect of pyromania and how a pyromaniac thinks.
I never thought it was Lars who sat the fires, as it would have been to easy. I was pretty sure it was Camilla the whole time, so I was surprised to see it was Dorthe. I thought it might be early on, but I cast the thought aside.
I feel sad that Thomas, Mette and Lars died thought and that Dorthe wasn't caught and punished for her crime.
I liked at you had to guess who the pyromaniac was and what would happened next, but I feel it could have been more to the book.
