Rezensionen

I read a ton of reviews of this book in various newspapers/magazines, most of which were extraordinarily positive. The author is a good storyteller and uses language well. I have a few criticisms, though. In places the narrative was too choppy, as if film jump-cuts were the effect the author was going for. Additionally, her process of change and redemption was too brief and unbelievable after the chronicled years of abuse.

Watch out, this review might contain spoilers!

Her Last Death is a shocking tell-all memoir, and it was obviously written to shock. As other reviewers have noted, Susanne repeatedly writes that she is a liar like her mother and I find many of her stories to be hard to believe. Most of those doubtful episodes starred her mother. That being said, there was a lot of honesty in this memoir as well. Susanna doesn't always cast herself in a positive light and that makes the story more believable.

There was a lot about this memoir that I found disturbing, like the lengthy and unneeded chapter about Susanna's decision to have an abortion and her previous decision to put down an unruly puppy.

Susanna had an exotic childhood followed by an exciting life in New York and she never elaborated on her choice to live a vastly different kind of life in rural Montana. She somehow ditched her mother and her past life without much reflection.

Following the author through a dizzying array of shallow friendships made me feel like a voyeur. Watching her inhabit and shed relationships felt like gazing into another woman's closet. Friends come and go, like dresses purchased on sale at the height of fashion and later abandoned when they no longer fit.
