A review by beenisharif
Best Seller by Susan May
5.0
"Well, well, well, William!"
This is the very first book I read from Susan May. And I must say it is going to be one of her greatest hits. The book speaks to you in a very frank manner. In the beginning, you feel like you can't even grip the story , but before u reach the middle chapters, the puzzle pieces fall in place.
The story isn't just a mystery thriller, it has a deeper meaning if you stop and think. Jealousy isn't born, its absorbed. Hatred begets hatred.
The book also made me think about the troubles and struggle and above all "magic" an author has to go through while writing, publishing and then waiting for the fate of their book. Susan May, you have inspired me to write. A long ago dream of mine, which I may think about all over again.
I love the flow of the story and how it connects different scenarios.
Despite of my liking towards the book, I have something to criticize too (not negatively, of course).
The book ended too fast. The effort author has put in is tremendous. Just as each step of each character is well elaborated, I just wish the ending was more explanatory as to how Nem knew of things she came to know about other people. What were the drawbacks of the book not officially handed over to her. See, a little more explanation to satisfy our wandering mind.
I can already imagine Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman playing the two main characters in a blockbuster movie based on this book. :)
Well done, Susan May. Very well done!
