oh man, was this good. it literally kept me guessing until the last page, and even still, i feel like i need to look up a synopsis on the internet (or see the movie) get some of my thoughts sorted out.

I thought this was a good book. I'm curious as to how this was adapted to the screen since I have yet to see the movie. My question is about the ending....was it all a dream or is a continuation of screwing with his head?

Yes, yes, yes. This book is why I love thrillers. Another disturbing read, but this time with a twist and I loved every second. My only complaint is that I found the first few chapters to be confusing, but once you reach the end, you find out why. I re-read the beginning and all made sense. Now time to watch the movie.

I read this at the same time The DaVinci Code was making headlines and being read by everyone under the sun. I read this book first and was AMAZED that such a superior thriller didn't get nearly the attention. It's full of twisty turns and it's a quick, fun read.
