El Libro de los Baltimore
El Libro de los Baltimore | Joël Dicker
Joël Dicker rescata en El libro de los Baltimore a Marcus Goldman, protagonista de su gran novela La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert. «El Libro de los Baltimore es una novela titánica, nabokoviana, altamente recomendable.» Laura Fernández, El Cultural de El Mundo «Si encontráis este libro, por favor, leedlo. Querría que alguien supiera la historia de los Goldman-de-Baltimore.» Hasta que tuvo lugar el Drama existían dos ramas de la familia Goldman: los Goldman de Baltimore y los Goldman de Montclair. Los Montclair, de los que forma parte Marcus Goldman, autor de La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, es una familia de clase media que vive en una pequeña casa en el estado de Nueva Jersey. Los Baltimore, prósperos y a los que la suerte siempre ha sonreído, habitan una lujosa mansión en un barrio de la alta sociedad de Baltimore. Ocho años después del Drama, Marcus Goldman pone el pasado bajo la lupa en busca de la verdad sobre el ocaso de la familia. Entre los recuerdos de su juventud revive la fascinación que sintió desde niño por los Baltimore, que encarnaban la América patricia con sus vacaciones en Miami y en los Hamptons y sus colegios elitistas. Con el paso de los años la brillante pátina de los Baltimore se desvanece al tiempo que el Drama se va perfilando. Hasta el día en el que todo cambia para siempre. La opinión de la crítica: «Les sorprenderá. Deberíamos leer El libro de los Baltimore como quien contempla un óleo de Edward Hopper y su trazo elegante.» Ramón Ventura, El Periódico de Catalunya «En apenas unas semanas El Libro de los Baltimore ha alcanzado los primeros puestos en las listas de más vendidos y nosotros sabemos por qué. Buscamos cada minuto libre en nuestro día a día -en el metro, en el autobús, en una cola- para sumergirnos en su lectura.» Toutelaculture.com «Con La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert obtuvo dos de los principales galardones galos, el Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française y el Goncourt des Lycéens, y se convirtió en uno de los principales fenómenos de ventas europeos de la década. Ahora, con El Libro de los Baltimore, ha logrado recuperar todos y cada uno de los ingredientes de la obra anterior (comenzando por su narrador, el escritor Marcus Goldman).» Milo J. Krmpotic, Librújula («Joël Dicker: prodigioso y melancólico», portada) «A través de señas características de su escritura, como los continuos saltos en el tiempo, los bruscos e inesperados giros argumentales y el mantenimiento de una tensión narrativa más que palpable, Dicker monta una historia cuyo punto central (el Drama) desconocemos en importancia y contenido, pero sobre el que gravita todo el peso del relato, que se convierte en una búsqueda de la verdad de impresionanteritmo narrativo.» Andrés Seoane, El Cultural de El Mundo «Una estructuración digna de serie televisiva que consigue que cada capítulo presente, por sí solo, un elevado arco de tensión que motiva a seguir devorando páginas... Todo lo que pasa es emocionante, cautivador y, por momentos, hasta conmovedor.» Matías Stuber, Bellver (suplemento cultural del Diario de Mallorca) «Una vez más Dicker demuestra su talento para atrapar al lector.» Bernard Lehut & Martin Cadoret, RTL «El nuevo golpe maestro de Joël Dicker. Sin duda, un as en la manga. Dicker sabe hacernos disfrutar como nadie.» Pierre-Yves Grenu, Culturebox (Francetvinfo) «Dicker confirma su talento. Regresa con una novela cautivadora e inteligente.» Marianne Grosjean, Tribune de Genève

Fantastic read, really good and well thought out storyline. The fluctuating time line makes it even more interesting as I was constantly trying to determine who was where and when!
I hope he's writing another. 😊😊😉

I spent a few days on vacation and this is the only book that I have been able to finished. It's okay as beach-read, but my expectations was to high, because I really liked his first book. Main character is the same as it is in the Harry Quebert Affair,but this time the story is focusing on family secrets and their consequences. Suspense is created with some 'cheap tricks' from mystery books and this is the reason why I don't like the story.â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸

BarbaraBB Ah too bad that it wasn't as good as 7y
Simona @BarbaraBB I was the victim of high expectations based on the previous book and I didn't check the reviews before I started reading ... but I'm still curious about his future works 👠7y
batsy That's too bad. I have the first one and I'm looking forward to it, glad to hear you liked that 👠7y

ErikasMindfulShelf Too bad it wasn't as good. I've been wanting to read it because I loved (edited) 7y
Simona @batsy @irre Don't be distracted by my personal disappointment, it's very readable! 7y
SaraFair Love how you did this picture! 7y
ErikasMindfulShelf It doesn't seem like it's been published by a US publisher. Where did you buy it? 7y
Simona @SaraFair Thanks 😊 7y
Simona @irre I have Slovenian translation. I was wondering today, when I was browsing through reviews on GR, why they are so few in English ... I guess that's the reason. You can buy it on Book Depository https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Baltimore-Boys-Joel-Dicker-Alison-Anderson/97... 7y
ErikasMindfulShelf Thank you! 7y
llauraff I‘m with you .... I was the victim of high expectations too, but the book is very readable and at last I wanted to know how the writer closed the circle ..... (edited) 7y
Simona @llauraff Yes it‘s readable, and maybe I was to harsh, because of my disappointment... 7y

I'm done with the #24in48
My final result is 16 hours and 28 minutes, I finished Dance with Dragons - 600 pages and I have started The Baltimore Boys - 148 pages.

Congratulations to all readathoners and thanks to @24in48 for organizing this nice, fun #readathon weekendâ£ï¸

Jinjer What a cute scruffy puppy!!! 7y
SaraFair There's some terrier in that puppy! 7y
Simona @SaraFair Judging by her stubbornness and her 'hair style' - for sure! She is from animal shelter and they have found puppies (4 sisters and 1 brother) and they all looked different. 7y
SaraFair Could be different dads! A doggie dna test would be fun. 7y

I'm finding it less engaging than the other one, even if I read 200 pages in one day. It's not a proper mystery, that's the thing, I think. In any case my breakfast will be great in this company.
