The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
DNF at page 165
The Woman in the Window is basically a rip off of the 1960s movie Rear Window. Don't bother reading the 400 something page book, just watch the movie.
I hated this book. Anna, the main character is an agoraphobic alcoholic. She was annoying, whingy, and I just really didn't like her at all. By the time the story actually got started (around page 150), I just didn't care enough to want to continue reading.
There are so many great reviews for this book, and I can see why. The concept is great (although unoriginal), but with execution. The writing was terrible. Sentences and paragraphs just rambled about nothing.
If you are a thriller reader, then I don't recommend this one. If you are new to the thriller genre, go for it.
