A review by fernweh85
Ngôi Nhà Số 11 by Sophie Hannah
2.0
This is the second of Hannah's books that I've read, the first being a few years ago but I remember enjoying it. Unfortunately I found this to be a huge waste of reading hours... The book drew me in at first and was really an intriguing concept, but I've never read such a padded out book in my life!!
Connie was extremely irritating and I had absolutely no sympathy for her, and I had no interest whatsoever in reading about the strange Zailer/Waterhouse dynamic. When we finally find out what on earth went on, we have to sit though pages and pages of Connie working it out, pages and pages of the police working it out, then yet more pages of explanation from the guilty party. I admit I skipped at the end, was dissatisfied with the ending and haven't rolled my eyes so much since the last time I read Jodi Picoult. I won't be reading Hannah again, I'm afraid.
