Description

Kaspar Lemke wakes up tied to a bed, in the high-security wing of a psychiatric clinic, without remembering anything. Neither his name nor how he ended up there. His doctor, Sophia, explains to him that he is a volunteer in an experiment. An experiment that could change the meaning of free will forever.

The rules are simple: He must follow the orders. Every order he carries out is one step closer to the truth and to freedom. However, as the orders become increasingly dangerous and the memories begin to return, Kaspar realizes that the truth may be more terrifying than amnesia. Who was he before he entered the experiment? An ordinary person? Or a monster?

Suitable for:

Readers who love fast-paced, suspenseful thrillers that play with the mind. If you enjoy stories where nothing is as it seems and the truth is gradually revealed through shocking twists, then this book is for you.

Why you won’t be able to put it down:

  • Relentless suspense: Fitzek is the master of creating a sense of suffocation and constant danger.
  • Shocking twists: Just when you think you understand what is happening, the book will surprise you in the most unexpected way.
  • Claustrophobic atmosphere: The psychiatric clinic becomes a nightmarish labyrinth from which the hero (and the reader) tries to escape.
  • Plays with your mind: You will question everything, even the identity of the protagonist himself.

    The first Fitzek book I read. Yes, I finished it quickly and I was indeed anxious to see how things would unfold, but I think it was somewhat tiring at times and I can say that I predicted the ending so it didn't completely surprise me. 3.5/5

    While it is fast-paced like a thriller, it loses two stars due to the many unnecessary descriptions and the slightly "bloated" plot with some gaps. It would have been even better with 80-100 fewer pages, ideally 3.5 stars from me.

    I started reading Fitzek a month ago. The first book was The Experiment. The man is a genius. He plays with your mind and leaves you speechless. Everything of his that I have read so far is amazing. I believed that after Jo Nesbo, no author would amaze me. I was wrong!

    Amazing novel, it keeps you in suspense from the beginning. Although I think it drags a bit in some parts, I believe it more than makes up for it in the end.

    Very good book and I would recommend it! Just because I happened to read first "The Therapy" by the same author which I consider super, this was just a notch below! Suspenseful and unpredictable, just many characters and names that confuse you a bit! The author's style is amazing in both!

    Okay, the book is unbeatable! From the very beginning, it keeps you in suspense about what is going to happen next. Easy to read and absolutely understandable. The ending is worth all the money with a detail that made me shiver all over. I highly recommend it.

    The book is written in simple and understandable language, which makes it enjoyable to read. The plot is full of suspense and keeps the interest until the end, which was truly surprising and shocking. However, there are some points where the explanations are not sufficient or convincing, which may trouble the reader.

    It gets a bit tiring with all the names and people until you understand.. It doesn't hold the interest. I stopped it. Maybe some other time it will be more suitable.

    The story takes place during Christmas at a psychiatric clinic in Berlin. The protagonist is a mysterious man who is randomly found in this clinic, having suffered total amnesia, without remembering any information from his past. His compass in exploring his dark past will be the visions he occasionally experiences and the help of Dr. Sophia. Soon, however, the snowstorm will intensify, new patients will arrive at the clinic, and the "soul crusher" seeking his next victims will strike fatefully... I would say the story is quite original. Those who have dealt with Fitzek's previous readings may be able to predict some developments in the story. However, this particular author always has a way of surprising us. Because once again, nothing is as it seems...

    Easy to read, keeps your interest and immerses you in the story. However, I found it quite exaggerated and towards the end a bit tiresome with the descriptions. I don't think I wasted my time, but I can't recommend it either. I would say it's mediocre

    One of the best thriller books I have read. S. Fitzek is easy to read, grabs your interest from the first page and maintains it throughout. I recommend it, as well as his other books that I have read: The Position 7A & The Package (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/17758167/I-THesi-7a.html & https://www.skroutz.gr/s/14717370/To-Dema.html)

    I was deceived by the reviews!
    Many boring descriptions, the ending is completely irrelevant, you expect something dramatic and it ends completely foolishly!
    I have read other books by the same author and I loved them, but this one was a waste of time!

    The book is relatively good but only up to a certain point.

    It starts off very well and ends somewhat decently. The issue is the middle part, specifically from around page 200 to 300, where it becomes slow. The characters are not anything special but I wouldn't say they are bad either. The writing style is decent but only up to a certain extent. The book benefits from the fairly good concept it has.

    This is the first book I have read by Fitzek, so I cannot have a complete opinion.

    I had high expectations so I didn't love it. However, I liked it. We read about a patient of a psychiatric clinic who suffers from amnesia. A let's say serial killer enters the clinic and chaos ensues. Good plot twist, no doubt about it. From the middle onwards, I admit that the book kept me more engaged and I raced through it.

Description & Specifications

Kaspar Lemke wakes up tied to a bed, in the high-security wing of a psychiatric clinic, without remembering anything. Neither his name nor how he ended up there. His doctor, Sophia, explains to him that he is a volunteer in an experiment. An experiment that could change the meaning of free will forever.

The rules are simple: He must follow the orders. Every order he carries out is one step closer to the truth and to freedom. However, as the orders become increasingly dangerous and the memories begin to return, Kaspar realizes that the truth may be more terrifying than amnesia. Who was he before he entered the experiment? An ordinary person? Or a monster?

Suitable for:

Readers who love fast-paced, suspenseful thrillers that play with the mind. If you enjoy stories where nothing is as it seems and the truth is gradually revealed through shocking twists, then this book is for you.

  • Relentless suspense: Fitzek is the master of creating a sense of suffocation and constant danger.
  • Shocking twists: Just when you think you understand what is happening, the book will surprise you in the most unexpected way.

    It gets a bit tiring with all the names and people until you understand.. It doesn't hold the interest. I stopped it. Maybe some other time it will be more suitable.

    The story takes place during Christmas at a psychiatric clinic in Berlin. The protagonist is a mysterious man who is randomly found in this clinic, having suffered total amnesia, without remembering any information from his past. His compass in exploring his dark past will be the visions he occasionally experiences and the help of Dr. Sophia. Soon, however, the snowstorm will intensify, new patients will arrive at the clinic, and the "soul crusher" seeking his next victims will strike fatefully... I would say the story is quite original. Those who have dealt with Fitzek's previous readings may be able to predict some developments in the story. However, this particular author always has a way of surprising us. Because once again, nothing is as it seems...

    Easy to read, keeps your interest and immerses you in the story. However, I found it quite exaggerated and towards the end a bit tiresome with the descriptions. I don't think I wasted my time, but I can't recommend it either. I would say it's mediocre

    One of the best thriller books I have read. S. Fitzek is easy to read, grabs your interest from the first page and maintains it throughout. I recommend it, as well as his other books that I have read: The Position 7A & The Package (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/17758167/I-THesi-7a.html & https://www.skroutz.gr/s/14717370/To-Dema.html)

    I was deceived by the reviews!
    Many boring descriptions, the ending is completely irrelevant, you expect something dramatic and it ends completely foolishly!
    I have read other books by the same author and I loved them, but this one was a waste of time!

    First book I'm reading. Very good guys, really worth it for me. I got this and the package that I will start tomorrow. I only read books of this style and I have to say that it was one of the few so groundbreaking without boring description. I recommend it!!!

    This is the second book I've read by this particular author (the first one was "The Package"). It keeps you constantly on edge, resulting in finishing the book in just a few hours. The ending is unexpected. Congratulations!

    Although it initially tired me a little, it had an excellent development in the plot, it was not predictable at all, and it constantly built suspense.

    The book is relatively good but only up to a certain point.

    It starts off very well and ends somewhat decently. The issue is the middle part, specifically from around page 200 to 300, where it becomes slow. The characters are not anything special but I wouldn't say they are bad either. The writing style is decent but only up to a certain extent. The book benefits from the fairly good concept it has.

    This is the first book I have read by Fitzek, so I cannot have a complete opinion.

    I had high expectations so I didn't love it. However, I liked it. We read about a patient of a psychiatric clinic who suffers from amnesia. A let's say serial killer enters the clinic and chaos ensues. Good plot twist, no doubt about it. From the middle onwards, I admit that the book kept me more engaged and I raced through it.

  • The first Fitzek book I read. Yes, I finished it quickly and I was indeed anxious to see how things would unfold, but I think it was somewhat tiring at times and I can say that I predicted the ending so it didn't completely surprise me. 3.5/5

  • While it is fast-paced like a thriller, it loses two stars due to the many unnecessary descriptions and the slightly "bloated" plot with some gaps. It would have been even better with 80-100 fewer pages, ideally 3.5 stars from me.

  • It didn't keep me in suspense at all. Good plot but it tired me out without there being a point where I could say it kept me in suspense to read on.

  • I started reading Fitzek a month ago. The first book was The Experiment. The man is a genius. He plays with your mind and leaves you speechless. Everything of his that I have read so far is amazing. I believed that after Jo Nesbo, no author would amaze me. I was wrong!

  • Amazing novel, it keeps you in suspense from the beginning. Although I think it drags a bit in some parts, I believe it more than makes up for it in the end.
