Thank you, just ordered it. Am half way through Before I go to sleep.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm so tempted but the hardback is just gorgeous. It has pink edged pages. Think I'll put my name Dow for a library copy instead.

down. ...

Urgh save your money it's complete crap

It sounds dire- has anyone actually read it?

I have read some bad reviews on Amazon which say it's not that good. I have to admit I didn't like Before I Go to Sleep much but that was because the story didn't appeal but I think he is a decent writer. Perhaps just another victim of second novel syndrome and the third will be better

Will still give it a go when I see it at the library so I can have my informed opinion to write a review.

I read it and its crap. Seriously.

It's page-turning crap though I thought. I stopped turning the pages fast towards the end of the book. The end really is crap and the protagonist very annoying/stupid.
I am not a massive fan of Before I go to Sleep either.

The end is really crap. I'm still not quite sure about some details, but contacted enough to re-read and see if it's any clearer. Relies on a massive coincidence and there's no informatio about why some of the characters would act that way.

I also felt a bit about the main character always feeling sexual attraction even alone in the company of possible serial killer. Felt like female character written by a man at times?
