mwohlbrandt 's review for:
The Hypnotist's Love Story
by Liane Moriarty
While this isn't a "rompy fun" kind of book, it was a quick and easy read that kept me entertained. It's a good read for a rainy day and I would recommend it to someone who likes the chick-lit genre.
One flaw for me was the pacing. At times I felt like things moved too quickly and I didn't really form an attachment to any of the characters, yet at other times I felt things were so dragged out and we were never going to get where it was clear the book was going. As another reviewer said, the book does have some predictable bits but retains some mystery within those (e.g. the stalker is a patient, but which one?).
Funnily enough, one thing that threw me while reading this book is that the author is Australian and she writes her novel as such. It was a bit like reading a chick-lit book by a British author for me, where some terms and societal interactions are unusual, but this was even more unfamiliar to me. I guess I need to read more from authors in Australia!
Overall I would read this book again and it provides exactly what you would expect of it, an enjoyable read that provides an interesting story while not requiring you to think too much.
