pickI was surprised at how long this book is for the mystery genre. Since I have already seen the movie before delving into the novel, I knew whodunnit. Yet, it felt fresh because the gritiness of a crumbling marriage between two intelligent and broken people was captured with such an acute sense of what people can learn to live with that the suffocation of a such a thought made a vortex in my chest.
Marilyncjackson How did you like the ending in the book vs the movie? I think what they did with the ending visually in the movie was better. I can say that I can‘t get this story out of my head! 6y
trickyricky @marilyncjackson I prefer the ending in the book a lot more than the movie. In fact, I prefer the whole novel over the movie because every action is more clear. For instance, in the movie I could never figure out why would an 'amazing' woman like Amy would settle for an average joe like Nick. I think the book does a better job of explaining such little details. The same is true of the ending. 6y
