As good as the plot twist was, it took too long to get there. I understand the need for a build up but it was hard to stay interested up until much later in the book.

Amazing read, just when you think you have figured it out there is a new twist and a turn of corner. This book will keep you guessing! Great read!!

Only read if you truly love scary/disturbing books. Slow start and terrifying plot line. The whole book is honestly crazy so if you’re in to that, give it a read. I wanted to stop the entire time, but I finished it for my book club.

Painfully slow, it was an average suspense read but jeez, 100 pages in and nothing had happened

I’ll give it 4 stars.. the beginning was kinda slow but it was still good, the middle was really good! Kept me on my toes, I gasped a few times lol, but the ending was a little too dramatic (might not be the word I’m looking for) for me.. it felt like a script rather than a book. Still a good read and I’d recommend it Came back to add.. if your reading the book to watch the movie don’t waste your time.. the book was WAY better than the movie. The movie felt B rated and rushed and a waste of my time. Such a shame cause the book was pretty good

I do agree with some of the other reviewers that the book starts rather slow, but it really picks up momentum as it goes along. Kept me guessing and kept me intrigued. I will be looking forward to the next book by this author! Nevreader

I’ve had this book in my library for at least 2yrs and had started it multiple times but could never get into it like I wanted to, but, when the movie came out on Netflix, I was really determined to finish it before watching the movie. My difficulties with seeing it through was probably more of a “me” problem, however, I will say it definitely starts as a slow read, with a very slow buildup. The main character is flawed but you still find yourself rooting for her to not just be “the crazy old lady“. I would say the middle and ending parts of the book were pretty good. Some twists were thrown in: some I expected, others I did not. All together, it was an interesting read and I’m now looking forwards to seeing how the film adaptation measures against it.

I love this book, this book kept me excited until the end, I definitely recommend reading the book .

When I chose this book, I didn’t notice it was over 700 pages long! I said to myself it will take you weeks to read this book. Well, it took me 3 days. This book had everything packed into those 700 pages plus! Twists and turns and nothing I expected but got everything I wanted from a book! Totally well worth your time and so well written!

I didn’t hate this novel, but I didn’t love it either. I am more interested in literary fiction that gives me more of a challenge when I read, something that uses bigger words to explain a more meaningful and complex story, this novel was not that. I did enjoy the fact that the story focused on mental health and the mental condition of agoraphobia, which is something I have struggled with in the past and so I could relate. Not a horrible novel but also not the best and I only say that because I don’t usually read mystery novels.
