If a few days ago we told you about book The day he lost his sanity, on this occasion and to end the biology that you find with these books, we want to comment with you The day love was lost, the second part that ends, although with some unknowns, to the history of these characters.
If you've read The Day You Lost Sanity and are already thinking of starting the second, you can. But if it has not caught your attention and you have not yet given it the opportunity, it may be time for you to take a look at what we have prepared so that you know what you are going to find.
Who is the author of the day love was lost
Like the book before, The day love was lost is written by Javier Castillo. And, when he published the first novel, he left open the possibility for a second part if he saw that it was successful. Hence, when the rights were bought from him and the first book was republished, in a short time the second part that he had concocted appeared.
In fact, you should know that Javier Castillo was a financial advisor and, after the success with his books, he left it and fully focused on that literary career that has given him so much success.
The last of the books that has been released is from this year, The Soul Game, in which it follows its narrative form, simple and entertaining (once you understand the "game" that the author brings between past and present ).
What do you have to know before reading The day that love was lost
Although The day that love was lost can be read without having read the first one, there are certain nuances that are lost if you do it like this. The characters are developed in the first book, so when you read them, they are kind of incomplete. Now, it is also true that what the author does with this book is almost a "copy" (of which we will talk to you next).
In our view, To understand 100% the book of The Day that Love Was Lost, you have to have a history from before, know what happened and why the book starts that way (and it doesn't catch your attention). In addition, by already having a knowledge of the characters, it allows you to focus on the new ones. You already know how others are, so knowing more about a certain character becomes your goal.
Now, what if you don't read the first one? Well, in a way, nothing would happen; that is to say, there are things that you do not understand but they are almost minimal, because both books are very similar to each other and, for the most savvy, it can end up being predictable.
As for what you should know, the most important thing is what the main characters 'uncover' from the plot in the first book (and that we do not want to reveal to you) since it is the root engine of that second part. Also the characters, especially Jacob and the FBI specialist, two of the most important. Like the "bad guy" in the story, although we better not reveal anything about the first book.
What is it about
The day that love was lost begins like its predecessor, with a naked person carrying something terrifying in his hand. Once he stops her, it seems that she knows much more than the police, and that is where the game begins, between the past and the present, following the same line, finding Amanda, Steven's daughter and the girl Jacob fell in love with. But that in the past, because in the present we will have those characters along with others who are interacting and revealing new details.
Perhaps what the reader most wants to know is what happens with another person, and that is the reason why whoever reads the first part embarks on a repetitive adventure with this second.
A novelty that you are going to find is that, in this second book, each chapter is headed by the name of one of the main characters (many readers complained because the first one was messy and the author addressed the problem in this way).
Characters from The Day Love Was Lost
The characters of The day love was lost They are the same as The Day He Lost His Mind. But we also talk about our faces that will be closely related to the plot. These are:
- Bowring Bowring: He is an FBI inspector, tired of his day-to-day life and frustrated at not having achieved his dream of being a criminologist.
- Leonard: is Bowring Bowring's assistant.
- Katelyn goldman: It is about a girl who disappeared years ago, one of the first cases of the inspector that they never found. He considers it a failure.
- Jacks: is Katelyn's stepfather.
- The exhibitionist: is the person who starts the story, a naked woman who says she knows what is going to happen. So it drives the inspector crazy.
All these characters will also interact with those we know, so there are more protagonists, main and secondary, who you will have to keep track of.
Worth?
Opinions on this second part are for all tastes. There are those who liked it, especially because it delves deeper into the details that were loose in the first book; and who did not like it because it follows the same pattern as the first and, therefore, 'loses its grace'.
In our case, we could tell you:
- If the end of The Day He Lost His Mind hasn't made you want to know what happened to a certain character, or if you don't feel that need, you better not read it and wait a while to take the reading with more pleasure. Otherwise you might be disappointed.
- If you really want to read, then do it, especially because you are going to discover what has happened to the whole family, and what will happen in your present. Although it is similar to the first, there are details that keep you going through the pages until the very end (which, like all of this author's, are not predictable, at least until you are already at the end).
