A book review

3.29.2011

Have you read A Reliable Wife?



I hope not.  Please, save yourself.  Run, don't walk, away from this scary book.  Do not be fooled by the words "New York Times Bestseller"... I am all for psychological suspense, but this book, oh this book, it was not good...It was creeeepy in a very bad way....

I would have stopped reading it except that I simply cannot NOT finish a book that I start (part of my peculiar Rain Man tendencies..)..  And now I can breathe a sigh of relief that it's over.  Completing this book was painful.

I am now reading this book



which had me at Chapter 1.  Plus it's pink and pretty.  The characters are my age and mention things like Guess jeans and Bon Jovi which make me smile and relate.  Ah, much better!

Next is Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult, I hear it's a good read.

  2. I just stumbled onto your blog today and had to comment on this post. I haven't read The Reliable Wife (and will be avoiding it now haha), but I LOVED Something Borrowed and the sequal Something Blue.

    They're supposed to be making Something Borrowed into a movie- I think it comes out this summer!
