Read it recently and was captivated by Shriver's style and the very disturbing subject matter.

I did not guess the ending although it all added up in hindsight. Did anyone suss it well before the end?

It was contrived, obvious, psychologically inaccurate drivel.

It often surprises me that people couldn't see it coming.

I thought the honesty of Eva's letters was brutal. I could actually identify with some of what she wrote though would be horrified to actually speak some of it.

Saw the twist coming but was still hooked into watching how it all came out. I don't think I'd actually go as far as to say I liked the book - both of the main protagonists were fairly unpleasant/selfish people - but it was an absorbing read.

I actually thought the ending was quite obvious from fairly early on - sorry!
My husband didn't though.
I thought it was a really good book but I know many people don't like it - all personal choice I suppose.
