Somewhere between page 10 and page 185, my reading of this book changed from mild and somewhat disinterested to riveted.

I have not seen the movie that is based on this book so I didn't have any idea what I was getting into. Honestly, I didn't care for Tom at first. It wasn't that I didn't like him but more that there wasn't enough to his personality to like or dislike. Not to say that it was a fault of the writer.

Oh no, this book is spectacular.

To keep it spoiler free. Crime novel/psychological thriller. A bit dated but fantastic all the same.
