I have
just finished reading this book. I am in awe at how great this book is.
It's
called before I go to Sleep and the basic concept about the book is of a woman
called Christine and every time she goes to sleep she forgets everything that
has happened that day and when she wakes up she thinks she is a child sometimes
but in reality she's in her 50's. In this book she is slowly remembering her
past in pieces and she is also being told something’s of her past and in a
twisted way something’s are true and others might not be so true.
Every day
she wakes up to man she does not remember but he tells her that he is her
husband......
Pro's - I
have never read anything like this. It's different and for me original and very
well written. At the end of the book I felt like I understood Christine as a character
and as a person. Like I was Christine.
The thing
about this book was whatever you think will happen....it won't and it will make
you love and hate certain characters at the same time. Then there is a twist
that I never saw or even imagined to happen...but when it was revealed I was
like "Oh my Gosh."
The idea
was brilliant and the way it was sectioned off (will make sense to anyone who
has read it) was perfect and the build-up to the ending was quite good.
Con's- I
have read a few thrillers and they are fast paced from murders and kidnappings etc.....Where
there are shocks and twists in every corner but this book has a slower pace...
Honestly,
when I started reading the book...I was like is this it but I still wanted to
carry on and read it....chapter after chapter until the massive twist and a brilliant
ending. But for others it could be a slow book but I quite enjoyed the build-up.
Would I
recommend it? Yes/ No ...........I think this is a Hate it or Love it kind of
book and I love it.
