laurasg 's review for:
Central Park
by Guillaume Musso
I would have given it four stars if it were not for the predictable ending.
Spoilers abound! Proceed at own peril.
This started off as a thrilling read with more and more clues becoming apparent and a few twists and turns, until the final twist when I realised that this was essentially just a longer version of Shutter Island. A bit disappointing to say the least but it seemed to have a few good messages of optimism and need for positivity in the face of adversity. Until the very end when the author decided to give a soppy and frankly unrealistic ending, considering the main protagonists had only known each other for 24 hours at this point.
If the author had kept the message at "find positivity and reason for living" without making it dependent on romance with the guy you don't even know and who claims it was love at first sight (while she was unconscious on a park bench no less!), then I would have forgiven him for the unoriginal plot twist. But alas, he did not and for that I award him 3 stars.
