I finally read this book! I haven’t seen the movie so I went in completely blind. I wasn’t sure if it would be over hyped because of how popular it’s been as a classic psychological thriller. Even though I went in blind and I knew how hyped up it was I don’t want to say that  I’m disappointed because I’m not but it wasn’t as exceptional as I thought it would be. I did enjoy the characters and I loved the procedural and psychological aspect of it. Was I blown away by this book? No not really but it was a solid well rounded psychological thriller that I’m glad I did read. Now I will watch the movie.
