Deeply disturbing and intricately unsettling until the very end, this book will make you question who the real monsters are and if anyone's testimony can be trusted. It's also a powerful and timely musing on the way societies punish men and women differently for similar peccadilloes and crimes. ( ) Briefly: This was a page turner and a very good character study. If you're expecting a typical "thriller" though (or a twist of any sort,) this is not that kind of book. It was an interesting point of view, though, and I think we've probably all known people like Mike (though hopefully your Mike never went as far as this one does.) I applaud Araminta Hall for capturing the thought process of a man who is obsessed, and who doesn't know how to wrap his head around "no" when it's coming from the object of his obsession. Anyway, I recommend. Good stuff. I was not as obsessed (with the story) as were the characters themselves. Mike and Verity are in CRAZY love, but when Verity moves on, Mike doesn't. I found Verity's character hard to believe and once the story focused on the trial, it seemed even more far fetched. A sad commentary on our justice system were this to have been based on a true story. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
This is a love story. Mike's love story. Mike Hayes fought his way out of a brutal childhood and into a quiet, if lonely life, before he met Verity Metcalf. V taught him about love, and in return, Mike has dedicated his life to making her happy. He's found the perfect home, the perfect job, he's sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. He knows they'll be blissfully happy together. It doesn't matter that she hasn't been returning his emails or phone calls. It doesn't matter that she says she's marrying Angus. It's all just part of the secret game they used to play. If Mike watches V closely, he'll see the signs. If he keeps track of her every move he'll know just when to come to her rescue. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
