It started to get a bit slow for my liking towards the middle, although chapters were very short and easy to read. I thought they did a good job unveiling key plot points as it went on and I enjoyed the ending.

Fast and tense read. You guess at each turn of events who is who and what is fantasy and reality. A good psychological thriller.

Did for book club, some liked, some did not. I enjoyed it.

I was surprised that this book got such positive reviews, although it certainly pulled you in, in the beginning. The story of a woman who has developed agoraphobia, drinks copious amounts of alcohol, will not take her drugs as directed & watches her neighbors through her windows. One day she sees someone dying. After that she tries to get someone to believe her about what she saw but people are covering things up. It didn't seem that believable to me.

Such an interesting perspective! If you're looking for a book you won't be able to put down, look no further.

Forget the "controversial author", this was a real page turner of a book. I enjoyed the characters and the story development very much. I recommend this book be read and enjoyed regardless of the concern about whether the author made up or exaggerated some things about his own life. It is not often that I find myself so intrigued by a story and the characters within it that I read a book in 2 days, but this was one of those.

The first half of the book was curious and kept my interest but as the ending approached, I felt it was watered down a bit and the ending was less than satisfactory. Overall, it was a good read and enjoyed the writing style.

I found this novel very delightful! The author created an intriguing lead character who has many demons that shape who shes become. Unexpected ending. Bravo

Overall, I enjoyed this book - found it to be a captivating 'thriller' about a woman with agoraphobia who spends her days spying on neighbours through her camera lens. She thinks she sees a woman being stabbed but, due to her illness, alcohol & meds abuse, etc, she is not believed ... and begins to question herself. I would have rated the book higher if it had been a little shorter. I found that there was too much repetitiveness in the first half of the book which was unnecessary - I felt that the groundwork for "setting the stage" for the ending went on too long... but the last half of the book picked up and there were a few surprises. All in all, a good read.
