Customer Reviews

Thriller

This book was a fun book to read. It really captivated me, the intricacy of the murders and the suspenful way in which they were written. Some people say the book is sadistic and wantonishly cruel, but I think it is well thought out and an excellent murder mystery to read for those not faint at heart.

Actually a very nice surprise

Based on the bleak and disturbing movie starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow, this is a very neat, economic thriller. It captures the sense of dread that permeates the movie and also, it gives some insight on the motivations of Somerset and Mills... but surprisingly, the motivations of John Doe (The murderer) come across as too easy and bland.Still, as far as film novelizations go, this one is actually quite good and satisfying... and can be read without thinking of the film at all, which gives it a strenght of its own.
