About this deal

After much thought, Linda decides to write a new book-a crime novel…as “bait for the murderer” and therapy for her. The book was called “Blood Sisters”, which is the story of Anna, (Britta) with protagonist Linda (Sophie). This book is to serve as the trap. She then grants a rare interview to Victor Lanzen, at her house hoping to collect DNA samples as well as getting him to confess. The toxic players were finally out of the way; we wouldn’t have to deal with them while running our trap base. We went to bed for the night, fully knowing we’re going to have a busy day the grand opening of our shop. I think everyone but the Minister here already knows. We've got our hands on the passcode key needed for the All Source locator thing. This was not a book that I flew through; this was more of a slow, building suspense than a rip roaring thriller, but if you are patient it pays off in the end. My friend Linda hit many points perfectly in her review (you can find it here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ) regarding the pros and cons of this being a translation, the pacing, and the strengths and weaknesses of the plot. I do believe my favorite aspect of this story though was Linda’s slow, steady descent into madness. Wouldn’t it drive you crazy if you knew who murdered your sister and they got away with it? Her sanity is questioned more at every turn, and that is what caused me to give this book a higher rating. I’m going to keep this review short as to not spoil the plot, but if you like a pleasant challenge, I’d recommend this book. This was a story that I felt satisfied once finished, as though I had completed some feat that otherwise would have left me wondering had I not given it the chance. I’m interested in more from the author as she clearly is talented and can weave together a deliciously creepy novel.

Once more I must express my irritation with the marketing ploy that unfairly compares books, by baiting readers with the - ‘for fans of…’ thing. Half the time, the suggestion is way off the mark, and it boxes the author and the book into a corner, as well as setting up unrealistic expectations for readers, which does more harm than good. (I know, you've heard this lecture before, but every time this happens, it makes me mad all over again) This will work well! Let's go install it, we've cleared an area in the ruins on the Western Plateau. I'll go grab a few more people and wait for you there.

Brush with death

The book helped me to understand the different dimensions of perfectionism and the role that society plays in exacerbating unhealthy perfectionistic behaviours. I found it incredibly liberating to be able to connect this to my own experiences, and to know that although it is partly embedded in my genes, it is well within my control to apply my perfectionism in the right way. I largely agree with the points in the book on how at the personal level to better deal with the growth at all costs culture we live in. Not seeing mice does not mean there is not any. To know that for sure, look for such signs of their presence as feces and urine as well as their odors, gnawed holes or marks of gnawing, strange noises, scratching sounds, and untypical behavior of your pets. How to outwit the mice so that they do not avoid traps? You have to be creative and try to outwit these critters since mice may start avoiding the trap after the first mouse is captured.

While the majority of the book provides solid advice and valuable insights, the final chapter veers off-topic by discussing sociopolitical reforms. Mothers are trying too hard, and society is not trying nearly hard enough. Yet the good news is that the conditions of contemporary motherhood are so retrograde that big improvements are well within reach: proper care before, during and after birth; a rethink of work for both women and men, and the transformation of society’s incessant chastising of mothers into due value and respect. So in this video, I’ll be teaching you how to build a VERY efficient trap base, and I’ll be giving you some pointers, so people don’t try ruining your fun every time someone gets trapped. Then why are we prolonging the agony and the yearning?” Jonas gave a slight smile. His dimple appeared. “Because we need the agony and the yearning. Because that’s what makes us feel alive,” he said. The author, Curran, who is a social psychologist, provides insights into perfectionism from multiple perspectives and offers a self-diagnostic tool called the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale.In The Perfection Trap, Thomas Curran brings together his academic expertise and lived experience to delve deep into perfectionism and the costs of living in a society where the pressures to reach perfection are more pervasive than ever. The Rogue Knight uses a blaster weapon to destroy the All Source Model and slices through the Trap Device, breaking free. The group fights the Rogue Knight.
