We did it for book club sometime mid last year and no one hated it but no one thought it was great either. I think everyone thought there was too many characters and that it would play out better as a movie. I barely even remember reading it.
I loved it. The characters are hard to keep straight right at first, but it gets easier. I thought it was a really well done mystery, and a lot better than her first book.
I’m on page 89… It’s interesting to me, but not fast paced. I’m going to stick with it though.
Thanks
@Karen I know I’m a few pages behind you, but I’m hoping it picks up myself.
It’s not the best. It’s very slow going and honestly a little predictable. Girl on the train was way better.
I stopped reading midway.
It was awarded Goodreads best thriller of 2017 so I guess I thought it’d be better
I finished it, but it wasn’t my favorite. It did take a while to get into it. I just don’t think the characters were very engaging.
It gets better.
I borrowed it from the library 3 times and kept trying to give it a chance but I found it sooo slow and just couldn’t finish it!
Too slow
Did not finish
Did not finish. May try again at some point but it was so slow. And I didn’t enjoy the constant change in characters/POV.
That bothers me too! Seems to be this author’s style though.
I finished it. I wasn’t impressed.
I didn’t like that book at all. It took me forever to read it. It was a chore for me. I wanted to like it but just didn’t.
I just finished it, it’s slow but still I liked it
I thought it was just ok. Too many characters.
Has anyone read ‘The Handmaid’s Tale!? I started it three times, hated it. What’s the big deal about it!
I didn’t try reading it because I couldn’t get into the show and dystopian novels aren’t my thing
It’s okay, I plugged through it.
I loved it!

Honestly, no.

No
Yeah.. it picks up eventually. Overall it was OK
