mamccreary 's review for:
The Hypnotist's Love Story
by Liane Moriarty
I initially began this book as a way to distract myself from "How to Be a Woman." And it was a good choice. "The Hypnotist's Love Story" is a fascinating story with a interesting plot line and wonderful characters. I loved the switch between two points of view and, especially with the subject matter, I think it was very effective. The thing about Ellen and Saskia's characters is that they are so relateable. I experienced a sort of character hypochondria type of deal - I related with Ellen in that spiritual, I'm-so-much-more-mature-emotionally type of mindset and I related with her as that image she held of herself broke down. I related with Saskia, as I think we all can in a way, of not being able to let someone go after connecting with them so deeply(which makes me wonder if Facebook is just fueling our stalking desires). The plot line moves a bit slow at times because Ellen must analyze ever single detail about her life, but I think that this just adds to her character development and allows the reader to relate with her more. Because this book is so plot-driven I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, relatively light chick-lit.
