Even by now, after reading most (13). I still wind up surprised by the fifty different ways the story takes you before the end. It is every bit what I have come to expect and love from a Deaver novel.
and knowing I would love to FOR ONCE actually get the twists right. Some people call that whiplash; I call it the cure for predictable by-the-numbers thrillers.The plot does not need repeating here, but this does: read this book. I still can't.
I recently found this "older" Deaver novel I had somehow overlooked. and knowing my head is going to get messed with. I recommend this, and the other Deaver novels, without hesitation.
Simply put, the man is a master storyteller. of his books, and knowing there are plot twists and turns.
With Deaver, you never know what's what until you finish. This is an old Deaver, copyright in 1994. You're sure to enjoy this one. Lincoln Rhyme was probably walking on both legs then, so he doesn't show up in this exciting novel. Nonetheless, you can tell this is Deaver's work, because the plot races forward and you can never guess what is going to happen next.
Jeffery Deaver seeps up through the floorboards of imagination and creeps into our subconscious strata in this "Look over your shoulder and under the bed" thriller. Brace yourself. You are going to become hunter and prey to such an extent that you will feel compassion for both.
I never feel so boring in reading a book. I read the vanished man and I very enjoy but this book was inferior. I read the other review about this book. This is my second book of deaver. Maybe one thing in the book was enjoyable and this is the descriptions of Deaver- like the description of the childhood of Hrubek and of Lis- this was touching and maybe this give me the fews moments of enjoy in the book. I dont understand how reader enjoy the book. its boring, many twisted plots is unnessery, the end is little surpising but not convincing at all.I read the book 10 days and I just wait to see where the book will become interesting- its not happen.
There are lots of plot twists, as is usual with Deaver, and I found Deaver's look into the mind of a schizophrenic personality to be fascinating. I recently reread an out-of-print edition of Praying for Sleep that I first read in 1999. I suppose that doesn't say much for my long-term memory, but I think it says a lot for Deaver's book. Even the second time around, moreover, I was completely surprised by Deaver's ending. I had noticed it on my book shelf at a time when I had nothing new to read and realized I had completely forgotten the plot. So I reread it and enjoyed it immensely.
