Book Review of Sophie

Sophie
Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


Sophie and Matthew were raised by a distant father and a cold mother. Sophie is a real genius who hides the fact so that she appears 'normal'. Matthew is her younger brother who dotes on his sister without question.

As a lot of books start .. it was a dark and stormy night. Candles are placed here and there. Matthew is pacing back and forth. Sophie is bound to a chair. So begins a story of the siblings.... and the questions that Matthew has about his upbringing... secrets that have never been uncovered.

This is a psychological thriller of the best kind for me. I did not see the ending coming. This was a new author for me and I will surely be looking for The Hole. I've seen a lot of reviews for this one ... mostly not too favorable. I really like it when the ending jumps up off the page and grabs me. I give it 5 stars for that alone.
