A student of mine who received the BR1M book voucher offered to purchase some books for me.
I got two from him. One of which is this book. It took me so long to decide on getting this book. In fact, it was once thrown out of the list.
But after reading rave review online about it, I decided to get it.
Now that I've read it, it's no wonder it's got so much attention.
The story line of deceit, mystery, murder and the life of a sociopath is very intriguing and makes for very interesting reading. The story is narrated by the two main characters - the husband and the wife.
There really are two sides to every story and this book really plays on that fact.
You'll start with believing that the husband really could possibly have disposed off this wife only to later be presented with the fact that all the drama was one huge elaborate plan by the wife.
I would have wished that the ending was something else other than the two settling with each other. Just seems rather anti-climatic for me after all the buildup to the story.
The way the story was written, I cannot help wonder if there will be someone somewhere out there who would actually emulate the story.
