If it was translated into English I'd be rather surprised and even somewhat pleased - there is very little translated into English, particularly outside the standard fiction genres.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-58508176438669103182011-09-09T02:54:13.084-04:002011-09-09T02:54:13.084-04:00LindsayWrites: Thanks for stopping by and I hope y...LindsayWrites: Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the book.<br /><br />Melissa: Well, it wasn't quite the romance that 50 First Dates Was but the idea of the amnesia was the same. I actually did think of the movie occasionally while reading the book.<br /><br />Stephanie: Well you know from the beginning that something is off with Ben and there really only seemed one direction that the story could go, though I kept hoping that the story would totally surprise me in the end and was somewhat disappointed when it didn't.<br /><br />Ryan: I look for reading your thoughts on this book when you do read it.<br /><br />Biblibio I didn't realize that this book was a translation, that's interesting. I actually also didn't think too much about the plot holes until after I finished this book so it didn't disrupt my enjoyment too much. This is a book I would probably recommend despite its flaws, though I would suggest getting it from a library rather than buying it.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-76393651624630937332011-09-09T02:38:42.622-04:002011-09-09T02:38:42.622-04:00You know, I don't think I've read a single...You know, I don't think I've read a single entirely positive review of <i>Before I Go to Sleep</i>. Add to that my general apprehensiveness about books that are translated into other languages almost immediately after their publication in the original language... I get a bit suspicious. (It's the massive hype. Most books so hyped they're translated so quickly tend to seriously disappoint me.)<br /><br />Most readers seem to agree regarding the suspense (or lack thereof), though so far I've seen different opinions regarding the positive traits - some readers hated Christine and her voice, others like you enjoyed her discovery process. I have a feeling I'd end up on the other side of the scale, not enjoying the story because the weight of the plot holes would overshadow any potential positive trait. That and a genre I tend to avoid make me conclude that this is perhaps not the book for me...Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-68196476340590533992011-09-08T23:12:54.814-04:002011-09-08T23:12:54.814-04:00I've been curious about this one and your revi...I've been curious about this one and your review hasn't changed that.
