Confessions

Product Information

She reveals that the tragic death of her child was not an accident, as has been widely believed, but murder -- and that the child was: "murdered by some of the students in this very class." Too often heavy-handed, and with rather too many implausible elements, Minato undermines the clever ideas in Confessions.

But then after everything happened, you have to ask yourself what happened and who actually did it. You won't believe the twist that's coming.

Nolan, Tom. "Book Review: Confessions by Kanae Minato". The Wall Street Journal . Retrieved 2023-04-11. De hecho, en un principio me estaba decepcionando tener que encontrarme con que había motivos para que los personajes hicieran un acto tan bestial, pero luego, me encantó precisamente que mostrara la inmoralidad de los pequeños y como no les importaban sus actos siempre y cuando esto representa seguir con sus planes, los cuales tienen un motivo de peso según su visión. Lo cierto es que mientras que para uno de ellos es una simple travesura que se convierte más pronto que tarde en el móvil de un verdadero asesinato; para el otro si que es un asesinato en un principio por su propia búsqueda de apoyo emocional. Al final solo quedará la culpabilidad del primero e irónicamente el absoluto fracaso del otro.

Genre: Best Film-Movie of the Year / Award Winning-School / Bullying / Award Winning-Mystery / Revenge Moriguchi also taught them that criminals should be treated and portrayed as nobodies instead of sensasilising their crimes and character in the media. As she gave her lecture, she called the murderers person A and person B, knowing that everyone will figure who she was referring to.The author was very successful in setting up an eerie atmosphere. Actually it’s on the verge from being eerie to creepy. All thanks to our amazing author for writing this book so brilliantly. Children are not the lovable innocent little people we often perceive them to be. They too are capable of many horrific acts of cruelty, none more so than those mentioned in Confessions. If you are a fan of True Crime you will love this book. If you are familiar with child killers and watched docs on their different childhoods, discussed nature vs nurture, and the juvenile justice system, you will LOVE this book. In April, the film won Best Asian Film (similar to Best Foreign Language Film, though only Asian films which have been screened in Hong Kong are admitted to join) at the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards. At the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards, the category of Best Asian Film was replaced by a new category called Best Film of Mainland and Taiwan which means that only Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese films can remain to compete for such an award. Therefore, Confessions has become the last winner of Best Asian Film.
