Boring Quote by Jo Nesbo

“I'm just an entertainer. In a way crime stories are boring. A crime's been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you've got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that's why character matters, why you've got to make the characters interesting.” quote by Jo Nesbo — Download Open image
