Everyone has been praising this book up and down to the point I had, from simple curiosity, to read it. I have to say it's well written, it's clear the author had a lot to think about while writing so it came out really well. The unfortunate thing about the book is maybe the fact that everyone creates huge expectations about it so when you pick it up you will expect a plot twist so huge that your jaw will literally drop. Unfortunately for me I kind of expected the ending everything was set up to go in that direction. The peak for me was achieved when it made the connection to The silent patient. I was expecting something really big because of the above mentioned book. Unfortunately it's not that close. Even so a very good book. Would deserve 5 stars if the ending wasn't so rushed and it wouldn't make everything obvious from the beginning.
