![]() ![]() It does what it says on the tin and you probably will not get bored! I thought it was really well narrated also, which goes a long way. ![]() So, this is a really entertaining audio version of pool reading. Many of these types of books are not only hackneyed but direly written - not this. It is actually quite well-written in terms of the prose, with a nice line in vinegary human observations. I killed 6 of the 12 hours on the return journey alone, and soon listened to the rest at home. I bought it for a long car journey where all I wanted was to be kept entertained, not challenged intellectually, and this completely delivered. But then this did not claim to be a great work of literary fiction. The old dual narrator device, with its inevitability that "everything you thought you knew is not what it seems" is getting as stale as last year's scones. The long arm of coincidence and entirely incredible turns of events are employed with abandon. Okay, first let's be blunt about what this book is - this is corny, predictable and nothing more than an off the peg "psychological thriller". Predictable and corny.but very enjoyable :) ![]()
