Anna O by Matthew Blake

prettyglitter's review against another edition

1.0

An easy, quick read up to 70% then just an overwhelming amount of exposition and a twist in the last chapter that there had been no clues towards and was completely unsatisfying.

I liked the use of sleep disorders and the idea of a person committing a crime in their sleep, and finding out if they are guilty or not. But after Anna is woken up, that is when the story started to get boring for me. I think around the 50% is where I started to get bored and confused.

I am not sure how I feel about this book, the beginning of it was really good but kind of fell flat at the end. I am still confused on the ending and why

Clara framed all of these people for what happened to her mom + how did she know Ben was going to fit all of this when they got married in the first place...

I think there were a lot of holes that weren't answered, leaving me unsatisfied at the end of the book.

I just didn’t particular care about a single character in this book. The reveal was, well, it didn’t matter as again, I didn’t care. It took me ages to plod along and get the book finished.

I really enjoyed the first few parts of the book but I think it fell flat in the last few parts. Seemed a bit clunky and far fetched. Once Anna woke up it was a bit of a let down after that. I think the idea of the book was good but not the execution.
