#OKAY#finally finished my policeman#and here are my thoughts two years too late#don't read this btw if you haven't read the book and don't want to know any spoilers before the movie#i... didn't like it sadly#it was a 2 stars read for me#and here's why#i feel like the book barely had any plot outside of figuring out what marion had done (which it was pretty obvious from the start)#and i don't mind that#i love character focused stories IF i like or actually care about the characters#but all of them were so fucking unlikeable and not interesting at all#so i truly didn't feel strongly about anything#didn't feel the tragic love story between patrick and tom#didn't care enough about them to be furious at marion#it was just... meh#and the writing didn't blow me away either#i was expecting some beautiful prose and to finish the book with so many beautiful takes and quotes and that didn't happen either#another thing that i didn't like#it was how it focused on the wrong things#like we spent sooo much reading about marion's childhood and teenage years and about her job#same with patrick#and most of it wasn't even relevant to the story#and then the actual part that's interesting#like what happened after patrick was released from jail and why they never reached out to one another again#all that stuff that was actually interesting it isn't even covered#idk man it wasn't it for me i'm sad to say#i hope this is one of those rare cases where the film adaptation is better than the book#and that they give tom more of a personality in the movie#if you read all this i love you lmao#sorry for the long ass tags post bye
