I try to remember here how I liked the books I read (and what books I read in the first place :-))
These books are only those that I really read to a big extent. So I leave out all the books I read half, but then had something better to do or technical books where I looked something up and then went on. And also I neglect Comics :-(
For the books I read in German, I will try to provide the english title.

review
A thriller taking place in the Swiss world of finance (but it could be any Western country). Very readable and the background facts check out, as is to be expected from this author (I praise his book "Small World"). I don't mind the ending, which seems a bit fantastic, but it might actually be plausible. I can't forgive the beginning though, where the protagonist stumbles upon the evil mystery per random chance - which is okay, once. He stumbles into two coincidences, both of which are highly unlikely. For one of them, someone even mentions it's one in millions. I can't believe that there wasn't a better solution for this plot to get started.
