Returned this book for refund. the beginning was slow I gave up.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly. There were so many twist and turns.

I listened to this book. It was ok, it left me confused. A lot of plot holes. Her other books are much better.

So Many Twists This book left my head spinning. I didn't like the characters, although I don't think you are supposed to. There are some graphic scenes, but the story is well written and kept me turning pages even when I didn't like where the story was going.

I couldn't wait to read this because I had heard amazing reviews and then the movie came out. Boy, I don't know what it was but this read was so slow and predictable for me. Everyone said they were so surprised by it, but I called it. Her prose was lackluster and the story was annoying to me as a feminist. It wasn't promoting anything for more annoyance with the situation the couple was in. It switches gears midway through to not focus on Nick, but I was couldn't even read past the 5th chapter. It is thrilling for many other people.

It took me a little while to get into but I did enjoy the book overall. It playsn with your head a little.

This book was a very good read, I thought the twist was very good, and it definitely surprised me at the end. Although I kind of expected it to happen, I didn't expect it to happen the way that it did. I really can't wait for the movie to come out so I can compare it to the book.

Read a while ago so maybe I should reread. Perhaps it's not my genre (haven't read other thrillers). Certainly interesting characters but just not something I liked or maybe liked reading? I actually found the discussion around it more interesting. So I guess I'm glad to have read and would recommend to argue about it. (P.S. I'm bumping my initial 3 stars to a 4 because I love the analysis I've heard of the ending).

I bought the book after seeing the movie. They were both great, but I love the way a book gives more detail and nuances than a movie ever can. The ending was really a surprise to me and I loved that. I suppose the only reason I did not give the book five stars was that I really did not understand the motive of the protagonists.

I read the book and it was a compelling read. Although I figured out the twist in the story, the ending still surprised me and disturbed me. The two main characters, husband and wife, and both non-sympathetic in their own rights. I didn't like either of them in the book, or in the movie adaptations. But I think that works for this piece of fiction. I hope the author writes the next chapter for these two. I need some closure!

Love this book and can't wait to see the movie. Thrilling and hard to put down. Lost some sleep with this one.

This book didn't seem to be as edgey as I am used to but after reading a lot of reviews I decided to sample it. After the sample, I was hooked and purchased the book. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and actually made time to continue reading it. It's the first book I have read by this author and I'm glad I didn't pass on it. I have recommended it to my book loving friends.

This book started out slow. I almost gave up on it but I am so glad I didn't! It turned out to be a great book. Once I got past the slow spots it was amazing and I couldn't put it down.

I hated the flip flop between the two characters, but once I was used to it and the plot became interesting, it was an EXCELLENT read!

It took me awhile to get into this book. I frequently became annoyed with both Amy and Nick. I had a hard time believing that two people could be so silent about their unhappiness with each other. Then things started rolling and secrets became revealed and the plot twisted. I will tell you, I suspected the outcome in parts, only because I had heard how CRAZY the twist was. So, sorry, I guess I may have just ruined the twist for you, but hopefully not. Once the story started unraveling and the psychoticness is unleashed, I couldn't stop reading. I will say, I HATED the ending. It leaves you with a whole lot of unanswered questions. Personally, I think it is a lazy way to end a book. Regardless, READ IT!
