"little earlier, I got on a binge of Korean thrillers and… Oldboy. As far as Korean thrillers go, Oldboy and I Saw the Devil exchange places [as] my favorite Korean film. [For the remake of Oldboy], they manage to completely ruin it. And I don’t know how they managed to so thoroughly ruin it, but they… They could have just re-shot it shot-for-shot and have the American screenplay be the subtitles of the Korean film and it would have been a fantastic movie. And they managed to poop all over celluloid. But the original one, phew. I highly recommend that whole… There’s a trilogy. It’s Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and, what’s the third one [Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance]? It’s a Vengeance trilogy and I love them all three. But that whole Vengeance series is amazing. Those Koreans know how to scare you."

I liked this, right from the start when it was obvious something good had happened between our leading man and leading lady. It was then we started with the diary entries from six years ago and seeing how they came to know each other and how there relationship progressed was really nice.

I think I fell for Ethan at the same time as Cassie, even when he was acting like an arse. Though that last bit that we see from the past has made him slip a little. How could he do that after everything?!

The tension between them was palpable from early on, I don't know how it took them so long to get to the bedroom.

That ending has annoyed me, despite me knowing there was a second book. Me and cliff-hanger endings don't always get on but I will read the second book eventually.
