Much better than the film
Having read this and the alternate version of twilight I can definitely say both are better than the film. The character description and story flow are much smoother and in depth. Not the best writing mind you but a lot better than some and it's a new twist on an old tale.
Really enjoyable book with some pretty memorable scenes and one liners.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I thought these book was great! I really enjoyed Sukey and her friendship with Vicky.

The description of the bloviatibg Jennifer in the beginning was really great stuff.

The mystery was pretty solid with a twist that you would have to be paying pretty close attention to get.

I really loved this book!

Who do you trust?
I really enjoyed this first season, the characters and acting was fantastic. The writing was brilliant, you don't know who to trust and you are drip fed information.

The new season has just started and highly recommend catching up with this first season as the from the trailers season 2 looks like it could be amazing.

I generally find thrillers slightly disappointing and somewhat predictable but I found Before I Go To Sleep an enjoyable exception.

It is a creative, innovative plot and you are really drawn into Christine's world living day by day with her.

I found the ending built in suspense spectacularly and found the novel as a whole compelling.

 A good page-turner, intelligently written with a good twist at the end.

Book Favorite

"The thinly veiled autobiography of Charles Dickens himself. Having grown up with a stepfather, I liked reading about another child who had one as well. I loved the English nature of the story — the time and place it inhabits. Another story of a child making his way in the world. I sense a theme here. I like this better than “Oliver Twist” because the storytelling is more restrained, and more believable."

Movie Favorite Watch

"Coming up to more recent years, I think Meet Joe Black, again, was a tear-jerky chick flick for me that I loved. And the performances…Anthony Hopkins can do no wrong, Brad Pitt‘s become a favorite as well, and Claire Forlani — stop already! All that girl has to do is blink and I’m enraptured. And that was another romance with a sci-fi twist; death coming to take a holiday."
