Or well, we just mostly see one part of the Tri, but what we see there is a great sense of community. Ich hatte einen super Einstieg in das Buch. Der humorvolle und sehr jugendliche Schreibstil gefiel mir vom ersten Moment an unheimlich gut und unsere zwei cleveren jungen Buchheldinnen waren mir auf Anhieb sympathisch. Nik und Norva – beide besitzen sie so eine herrlich schlagfertige und kesse Art. Die zwei nehmen wahrhaftig kein Blatt vor den Mund und lassen sich nicht unterkriegen. Besonders unterhaltsam fand ich, dass die beiden so schön verschieden sind, sowohl von ihrem Aussehen her, als auch vom Charakter. Während Norva lange Braids trägt, ist Nik kahlrasiert. Norva verlässt sich gerne auf ihre Intuition, Nik wiederum geht stets sehr analytisch und logisch vor. Die Schwestern ergeben einfach ein hervorragendes Team und ergänzen sich perfekt mit ihren unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften. Ich könnte gar nicht sagen, welche der zwei mir besser gefallen hat. Ich fand sie einfach beide einsame Spitze und musste ständig über sie schmunzeln. Summer in London is hot, the hottest on record, and there’s been a murder in THE TRI: the high-rise home to resident know-it-alls, Nik and Norva. Who better to solve the case? I did however really enjoy the dynamic of thr sisters relationship and the community that surrounded them on The Tri.

British producer Jeremy Thomas had wanted to make a film adaptation of J. G. Ballard's High-Rise since the 1970s. [9] He tried to make it in the late 1970s with Nicolas Roeg directing from a script by Paul Mayersberg. [10] [11] In the 2000s, Thomas began developing the project with screenwriter Richard Stanley and director Vincenzo Natali, with the film intended as a loose adaptation of the novel.

[32] [33] Empfohlen wird „Highrise Mystery“ für Mädchen und Jungen ab 12 Jahren und dieser Empfehlung schließe ich mich an. Erwachsenen kann ich das Buch allerdings ebenfalls wärmstens empfehlen. In meinen Augen ist dieser wundervolle Detektivschmöker nicht für Kids vollkommen lesenswert. Winner of the Younger Readers' category of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2020 | Longlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2020 | Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2020 It was fun to read about the Tri. The building. The history. How it looked. The yellow paint. I would have loved to truly visit. Well, on a good day. Definitely not a mind-searing hot summer time like it is in the story.

Second, the characters are woefully one-dimensional, their dialogue sounds unnatural - here's a line from a teenage character: "...Anyway, be glad I went because it was flames and fire. Big. Secondly, I did text you, innit. But you think you're all that. Leaving me on read. I see you." Woof. What teenager do you know speaks like this? Speaking of bad character writing, literally any character Nik questions in the story seem to be more than willing to spout any information they have right off the bat! Nik asks where they last seen the victim, they just tell her everything - I was here, then there, then I went to bed, anyway, see you later, say hi to your Dad for me etc. Where's the investigating, the unforgiving search for answers? Characters should be complex: they should lie, conceal, make themselves unavailable so the mystery is compelling. This book was just two kids walking around their estate asking any and every question hoping someone gives them something. I know they're kids but if a murder has just happened, shouldn't there be more suspense, more discomfort? Shouldn't they look for clues instead of asking for them? This was a really fun and fast-paced novel about two sisters trying to solve a murder in their high rise apartment complex. High Rise". Toronto International Film Festival.

Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Atmosphäre, die durch die einmalige Kulisse geschaffen wird. Ich kann nur irgendwie gar nicht so richtig sagen, was genau mich nun so verzaubert hat. Das Feeling in diesem Buch hat‘s mir einfach total angetan.
