The
Silent Patient is not what I call a good read or an easy
read. This book is a taut psychological thriller
involving a mental patient who hasn't spoken for years and a psychotherapist
who is trying to help her.
The book hooks you and then you get a bit
confused. Clarity is achieved at the end
– an ending that some would find shocking.
I suspect not many psychiatrists or psychotherapists would
approve of Theo's methods (or motives) – but the author isn't one so I guess he
doesn't mind.
Ha! I could not get along with this book, the characters or the author. I thought the whole thing was a sham.
ReplyDeleteThis is on my wish list so I appreciate the honest review. Sounds like a book I need to be in the right mood and frame of mind in order to read.
