I finished The Silent Patient which was on my TBR for so long and honestly I feel it’s not bad but too hyped by masses.
Theo felt like a great character with his troubled childhood until he was not anymore, at some parts I felt narration was too wanna be deep from Theo’s POV. Narration didn’t mention the timeline for Kathy and Theo’s angle and I’m glad(slightly) for that since I could see from miles away what’s happening there, so it was more about how it unfolds because you already could sense what’s behind the unfolding. It was a back n forth ride for me getting in and falling back for whole book.
The last scene again felt wanna be deep, for me personally. I didn’t hate it but it was just okay. It gave me similar feels after reading “The Girl on Train”. Not bad. But not that “must” of a read.
Same. A couple people raves about this book, insisted I read it. I couldn’t even get through it, it was so bad.
I bought this book while travelling just because I was seeing this name everywhere. But it turned out so bad.
I had similar experience with another book called “Normal people” by Sally Rooney(different genre) which received gazillion of awards and shit. That book suck. I no longer trust public opinion after this.
