Before I Go To Sleep - S J Watson

[frankie]

I bought this book based on someone's recommendation (not from BCF I believe), I haven't read it yet (oh no another one of those). It's currently shelved with my contemporary fiction but I've also heard it's a thriller.. does anyone know how triller-ish it is (if such a statement can be made)?

 

There's a sense of urgency in a certain respect in the novel which in my opinion makes it rather thriller-ish, but I wouldn't say it's thriller-ish in an action packed, fast paced way. I don't know if that helps

Colin Firth is great, isn't he? I've seen various films with him in it and in all of them he was great.

 

He is mighty fine I don't tend to pass up on opportunities to see him in whatever film he's in

I was so disappointed in this book as I'd worked out the ending half way through it was just so obvious

I didn't see the ending coming at all, so it was a great surprise. I figured there had to be some kind of twist, but I didn't guess that one.

Just been to see the film and enjoyed it.

I read this on the thriller kick I had right after finishing Gone Girl and I loved it. I watched the movie as well but I definitely prefer the book.

I enjoyed the book but was disappointed by the ending, I didn't guess the twist but the ending seemed fairly formulaic, woman-in-peril stuff ie she goes somewhere where she's alone with him etc, so I thought it fell apart a bit with a rather clichéd ending.

 

would like to see the film though.
