Wonderful book with a surprising ending! I highly recommend it for mystery novel enthusiasts. I received it relatively quickly considering the circumstances, while also receiving regular updates on the delivery progress.

Although I can understand the clever idea behind the thriller that the author is trying to create, I found it a bit too easy to figure out the ending from the first few pages. Essentially, I read it just to read it, no plot twists, very stereotypical and stylized for my taste.

  • Amazing!!!!! Anyone who has read even one Fitzek book knows more or less what goes on in his books. But here, he takes you from twist to twist. It’s not easy to stop reading. I read it in 4 days!!!!! I highly recommend it.

    It was not what I expected. I believe there were descriptions and digressions that, instead of intensifying the suspense about the plot's development, were tiresome.

    I have no words! The book is AMAZING. The Package is the first book by Sebastian Fitzek that I have read and it has won me over so much that I will get more books by this author. It is incredible and I was truly left speechless while reading it because it had such big twists and plot twists, just awesome! Also, it is super easy to read, I finished it very quickly. I RECOMMEND IT UNRESERVEDLY!

    As always, Fitzek leaves me speechless—this is the fourth book of his that I’ve read and I have to say it’s better than "The Inmate" and about on par with "Passenger 23," but by no means as good as "The Experiment."

    Positives: The exterior is, as always, quite unique, giving the impression of a package. The story is very well crafted with quite good characters with deep psychological backgrounds. The ending is incredible from many perspectives, taking you from twist to twist right up to the last page.

    Negatives: The beginning was somewhat uninteresting and made me bored, but from page 100 the action and the author’s magic kick in. I would have liked a bit more action at the start.

    Ok, it's easy to read. However, in no case does it deserve all the hype in my opinion. Maybe I had high expectations, I don't know. I tend to conclude, though, that the saying 'where you hear of many cherries' applies a lot to books.

    First time reading a book by Fitzek and I chose this one as it had quite good reviews.
    Positives: 1. It has short sections and the end of almost every section ends with interest and makes you want to continue.
    2. It really has quite a few twists.
    Negatives: 1. It has a lot of descriptions which in my opinion in many cases are unnecessary and slow down the plot of the story.
    2. The whole story balances between reality and fantasy, which after a certain point starts to become tiring..
    In summary, I would not recommend the book to someone who wants to read a plot based on real events, because they might get tired. From the middle onwards, the book has a frantic pace full of twists.

    Excellent book. From the moment I started it, I couldn't focus on other things as I was eager for its continuation. I love books that make you believe one thing, then something else, and in the end, it's what you never even thought of!!!! Full of twists. I recommend it…!

    Having read all of Fitzek's books (excluding the trilogy in collaboration with Kliesch), this undoubtedly ranks in the top three. Fluent narration, twist within a twist, and I must say that the ending was not as far-fetched as in his other books. Personally, I place "Therapy" in first place, followed by "Package" in second, and "Autopsy Lessons" in third.

    I bought it to read it after reading the therapy and the experiment. I can't say I was thrilled like with the others. It was a bit boring and there were few points that kept you interested. Definitely not one of the best books. I believe therapy is the best book he has written.

  • It is difficult for me to realize what I just read!
    I had heard good things about Fitzek but I didn't expect him to be this good!
    I was shocked! It was the most thrilling story I have read so far!
    "The Package" is the most chilling psychological thriller I have read! It is the first time I read a book by Fitzek and the truth is that I now understand why all this hype has been created around his name. It is a very powerful novel that causes incredible anxiety to the reader to such an extent that they can feel Emma's madness! "The Package" is a shocking story, with many creepy and chilling scenes that make your blood freeze!

    Not as good as other books by the same author like "Memory Experiment" and "Therapy". It confused me in several parts and I had to reread some sections. I would describe it as just a decent book

    Very nice police and psychological thriller that keeps your interest until the end. Very good plot twists. It is easy and fast to read. It makes you want to read it in one go.

    I don't understand why it has become so famous, nowadays best-selling books are probably those that have a lot of advertising. It's very boring, the writing is tiresome, the heroine exaggerates in her reactions and whatever she has been through is not justified, she just repetitively exhausts her emotions, over and over again. Also, there is a twist, but by the time you get there, it has tired you so much that you just want it to end.
    You can't call it a thriller, if you want a thriller, invest in a classic Stephen King, guaranteed! Very bad book.

    Quite good. The whole plot makes you think of different assumptions while reading until it almost reaches the end and turns everything upside down. Very psychological.

    I am really disappointed with Fitzek.
    All his books are the same.
    They become a thousand mysteries that confuse you and you can't make sense of them, and at the end of the book, you simply realize that all of this was happening from the perspective of the psychologically disturbed protagonist, so everything is justified.
    The easiest way of writing.
    Read "The Ivy Murders" and no other mystery book will satisfy you anymore!
    You simply fall in love with Horowitz's mind.

    While I was reading it with great interest for the first three quarters, afterwards it disappointed me so much that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The ending has so many gaps and it is unrealistic, as if E.T. came and took the heroine to space.

    This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
    The heroine of the book is from indifferent to unlikeable. The plot unfolds slowly and painfully and fails to create suspense.
    As for the infamous package, it appears in the middle of the book and its contribution to the plot is minimal.
    And most importantly, the climax of the book and the resolution of all the mysteries are rushed and done in a hasty manner.
    In short, whether you like this book or not is subjective, but the fact that it is poorly written, uninspired, but full of pretentiousness is objectively true

    Fitzek is consistent in theme, writing, meticulous work, and the quality he wants his books to have. So, in this one, he follows the same rule, and those who expected something different will probably be disappointed. Good, as always.

    Very good psychological thriller. It has a lot of suspense and keeps you on edge. The truth is that it is better than average and beyond. I recommend it to anyone who has been disappointed by love AND to anyone who believes they can do anything for the person they love...

    Boring. It was the first author I read and I don't think I will read any other... I continued until the end even though it was boring from the beginning, just because I don't like leaving something unfinished.

    It made me read a whole book after a long time of not finding anything interesting. It keeps you constantly in suspense, playing with your mind. At first, I felt like it was going a bit slow, but from the middle onwards, I read it continuously

"The Package" is a shocking story, with many creepy and chilling scenes that make your blood freeze!

    Detailed review coming soon here and on my Youtube channel: The Little Bookworm

    Not as good as other books by the same author like "Memory Experiment" and "Therapy". It confused me in several parts and I had to reread some sections. I would describe it as just a decent book

    Very nice police and psychological thriller that keeps your interest until the end. Very good plot twists. It is easy and fast to read. It makes you want to read it in one go.

    I don't understand why it has become so famous, nowadays best-selling books are probably those that have a lot of advertising. It's very boring, the writing is tiresome, the heroine exaggerates in her reactions and whatever she has been through is not justified, she just repetitively exhausts her emotions, over and over again. Also, there is a twist, but by the time you get there, it has tired you so much that you just want it to end.
    You can't call it a thriller, if you want a thriller, invest in a classic Stephen King, guaranteed! Very bad book.

    Quite good. The whole plot makes you think of different assumptions while reading until it almost reaches the end and turns everything upside down. Very psychological.

    I am really disappointed with Fitzek.
    All his books are the same.
    They become a thousand mysteries that confuse you and you can't make sense of them, and at the end of the book, you simply realize that all of this was happening from the perspective of the psychologically disturbed protagonist, so everything is justified.
    The easiest way of writing.
    Read "The Ivy Murders" and no other mystery book will satisfy you anymore!
    You simply fall in love with Horowitz's mind.

    While I was reading it with great interest for the first three quarters, afterwards it disappointed me so much that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The ending has so many gaps and it is unrealistic, as if E.T. came and took the heroine to space.

    I was not at all excited as the gaps in the story were filled in the finale in an unorthodox (borderline rushed and sloppy) way!

    This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
    The heroine of the book is from indifferent to unlikeable. The plot unfolds slowly and painfully and fails to create suspense.
    As for the infamous package, it appears in the middle of the book and its contribution to the plot is minimal.
    And most importantly, the climax of the book and the resolution of all the mysteries are rushed and done in a hasty manner.
    In short, whether you like this book or not is subjective, but the fact that it is poorly written, uninspired, but full of pretentiousness is objectively true

    Fitzek is consistent in theme, writing, meticulous work, and the quality he wants his books to have. So, in this one, he follows the same rule, and those who expected something different will probably be disappointed. Good, as always.

    Easy to read with suspense, surprises, mystery, and as it happens with many books by Fitzek, with a great twist!

    Very good psychological thriller. It has a lot of suspense and keeps you on edge. The truth is that it is better than average and beyond. I recommend it to anyone who has been disappointed by love AND to anyone who believes they can do anything for the person they love...

    Boring. It was the first author I read and I don't think I will read any other... I continued until the end even though it was boring from the beginning, just because I don't like leaving something unfinished.

    Without having any experience in psychological thrillers, I will simply say it's good, I expected something more. Easy to read, the pages fly by without you realizing it

    It made me read a whole book after a long time of not finding anything interesting. It keeps you constantly in suspense, playing with your mind. At first, I felt like it was going a bit slow, but from the middle onwards, I read it continuously

    I read it in 4 days! It captivated me. Easy to read. It keeps you in suspense from beginning to end with continuous twists! I will definitely choose another book by Fitzgerald!

  • Amazing!!!!! Anyone who has read even one Fitzek book knows more or less what goes on in his books. But here, he takes you from twist to twist. It’s not easy to stop reading. I read it in 4 days!!!!! I highly recommend it.

  • It was not what I expected. I believe there were descriptions and digressions that, instead of intensifying the suspense about the plot's development, were tiresome.

  • I have no words! The book is AMAZING. The Package is the first book by Sebastian Fitzek that I have read and it has won me over so much that I will get more books by this author. It is incredible and I was truly left speechless while reading it because it had such big twists and plot twists, just awesome! Also, it is super easy to read, I finished it very quickly. I RECOMMEND IT UNRESERVEDLY!

    As always, Fitzek leaves me speechless—this is the fourth book of his that I’ve read and I have to say it’s better than "The Inmate" and about on par with "Passenger 23," but by no means as good as "The Experiment."

    Positives: The exterior is, as always, quite unique, giving the impression of a package. The story is very well crafted with quite good characters with deep psychological backgrounds. The ending is incredible from many perspectives, taking you from twist to twist right up to the last page.

    Negatives: The beginning was somewhat uninteresting and made me bored, but from page 100 the action and the author’s magic kick in. I would have liked a bit more action at the start.

  • Ok, it's easy to read. However, in no case does it deserve all the hype in my opinion. Maybe I had high expectations, I don't know. I tend to conclude, though, that the saying 'where you hear of many cherries' applies a lot to books.
