Before I Go To Sleep- SJ Watson

[BitOfFun]

Another one of Shiney's recommendations comes up trumps . I read the kindle edition in one sitting today, I was that gripped. Imagine the woman from 50 First Dates wakes up in her forties, but she's not in a quirky romantic comedy with Adam Sandler, but trapped in a nightmare with a husband she doesn't know if she can trust or not...

(and let's forget, for the sake of argument, that waking up with Adam Sandler would be any less terrifying)

I urge you to give this one a go if you enjoy a good psychological thriller.

Sophie Hannah recommended this in something I read last week - sounds really good.

Great read, read in 3 days which is good for me. Great twist too!

Excellent book it was my first Kindle purchase and I loved it.

I really enjoyed this. I have just started Lasting Damage by Sophie Hannah which seems like another winner.

I just started reading this last night! I don't normally read this kind of stuff but felt like a change.

I am a pretty slow reader, will probably take a few months to finish!

I've read this. It was excellent! I stupidly started it at bedtime and ended up waking up at 6 am the next morning to finish it off (am a fast skim reader).

I get impatient with books that don't get into the story fast enough (how I ever read Captain Corelli's mandolin I don't know!) so after the first 20 pages I was starting to get a bit twitchy but there was that underlying sense of something is going on here that kept me interested and I really, really enjoyed it.

Couldn't disagree more. It is a good story but poorly written and the middle is dire, just wanted the author to more the story on more quickly and it should be far less repetitive. It will make a great film with a good team behind it.

I wasn't that impressed. It was readable enough, but the twist was so heavily signalled that I was expecting it to be some kind of double bluff by the author. And I almost never guess plot twists.

I agree with Jilted. I didn't like it at all, and I love a good thriller. I felt disappointed and let down - was expecting it to be really edge-of-seat good and it wasn't.

I hated this book. Great idea, but soooo badly written. I couldn't be bothered with it in the end and skim read to the end.

I liked it but guessed the ending and like nicknametaken never guess endings!

I didn't think it was that well written then I read "50 shades" and realised it is, in fact, a masterpiece in comparison

I got it cheap on my my phone e book I enjoyed it ok but it wasnt up to the standard of the writers I usually read (mostly American).

BOF look out The Last Child by John Hart a beautifully written thriller.

You got your name back!

Ha, billybolly, you're not setting the bar very high!

I'm limbo-ing under the bar Nickname

I loved this book, I was gripped from beginning to end!

Thought it was pretty diabolical. Why would he go out and leave her all day alone like that?

Also didn't like Scooby Doo style ending.

Wonder what the film's going to be like? May not bother with it :)

It wasn't literature, but I didn't expect it to be. It was a light read that still managed to hold my interest and raise some interesting questions re memory and its role in identity.

Read this (all) when in labour with ds.

Can hardly remember any of it!

Ice cream

Prob just as well.

ashes - yes I thought the ending was pretty dreadful. Thought the first 80% of the book was great, if you suspent disbelief a touch, but the end ruined it for me.

Where did you think you had to suspend disbelief? I'm curious.

I was disappointed. A good idea but no way near as thrilling as I thought it would be.

Yeah, in retrospect it wasn't all that. I will look up The Last Child, thanks Cocolepew. I've just read When God Was A Rabbit, and that was a bit disappointing by the end, it just ran out of steam.
