It's taken me about three week to read this. Psychological thrillers aren't really my thing but every once in a while I branch out from my usual romance.

I now kinda wish I hadn't. It took me forever to find this interesting/exciting. And it seemed to repeat a lot of the same things; Rachel getting drunk, Rachel on the same train everyday, Rachel harassing her ex... I was very bored for a while. And then the ending didn't really surprise me. It was a slow realisation but once we found out who was behind it, I wasn't surprised.

Think I'll stick to my mix of romances from now on.

"You know, I’d have to give a shout out to Rosemary’s Baby, which is not only a great horror film, but probably the most faithful adaptation of a book that I’ve ever seen on screen. The realistic ambience of New York in the ’60s is so palpable that it makes all of the horror tropes seem much more believable. We have a heroine we can identify with, and are the people around her all witches, or is she imagining it? Once again, there’s always a psychological component to a really good horror film. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a film better directed than Rosemary’s Baby."
