Norwegian born Jo Nesbo is multi-talented. He was born in Oslo in 1960, growing up in Molde. He received his degree in Economics and Business Administration from the Norwegian School of Economics. He played football and had aspirations of playing professionally, but a serious knee injury destroyed those dreams. He served in the military, then formed a band called Di derre (Them There), who topped the charts in Norway. He kept his number crunching job during the day and his band performed at night.
The band was popular enough for a publisher to ask Nesbo to write a memoir about his life on the road with a band. For some reason, he instead came up with his first plot for what became his signature series with Inspector Harry Hole. The Bat was his first novel in that series.
So, you have a writer, musician, and economic analyst selling more than 3 million copies of his novels by 2014. Then, an astounding 33 million copies worldwide by 2017....... that is some impressive number crunching.
Nesbo has had one children's book (English translation) Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder, and also had one of his novels (Hodejegerne) made into a film, Headhunters.

Harry Hole, the problematic detective from Oslo, will be sieged on many fronts, that threaten to destroy not only his job, but his personal l......more

I didn't understand the relationships between the characters. Most of the time I had no idea what was going on or why. I understood......more
Es un libro muy largo, pero no por eso va a ser tedioso y aburrido. Todo depende del escritor y de la forma que éste narre la historia. Este es el cuarto libro de la saga de Harry Hole (de un total de 13 libros, hasta ahora), y debo decir que me estoy enganchande a Harry más y más. No porque sea un s......more
Sometimes I feel as though I’m genetically hardwired to be a contrarian. Not because I actually like being different than everyone else or going against popular opinion, nor do I actually want to stand on the mountaintop and scream “All you fuckers are wrong.” Because let’s face it, it’s easy to fol......more
I'm four books into Nesbø's popular Harry Hole series and even though I've liked all of them so far, they haven't quite wowed me as much as I'd hoped. One thing that I really do like about this series is Hole himself, the flawed protagonist with his demons with alcohol is very much the focus of these......more
