5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't see the twist at the end coming!
I can't remember the last time that I read a novel written in the first person but it was highly captivating! it kept me glued to the pages so that I kept having to read as I was never quite sure what was going to happen next.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great twist
Incredible twist! Although the ending did feel very rushed and almost like it was a last minute plot ending by the author. However the book itself has many brilliant twists and turns that caught me off guard. It’s also well written, although the misleading psychiatry and therapy references are off putting.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thriller
I wasn’t sure about this at first as I kept putting off reading it. How wrong I was to dismiss it for so long. Love, betrayal, mental health issues and murder are the basis for this thriller the characters were so believable and each time I tried to guess the ending, another twist appeared to confuse me. Brilliant writing and a definite must read if you’re looking for a great thriller to read.
3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
Well, I know I'm very late in reading this book. Like many others, my wife read it last year and she was blown away by it and kept saying how much she loved it for quite a while. Now, finally, I decided to give it a go myself. I have to say that I'm intrigued by the author's second book, The Maidens, so I decided to read The Silent Patient before that one.In short, this book is about Alicia, a famous painter, accused of the cold-blooded murder of her husband who was a renowned photographer. The man was tied to his chair in his home and shot several times in the head. Did she kill her husband? Or not? If yes, why would she do it in such a barbaric way? The mystery deepens when Alicia falls silent and doesn't utter another word to anyone, ever. Is she doing so on purpose? Or is that the genuine result of the shock she suffered at her husband death? She ends up in a high-security mental institution and several attempts to dig deep into her psyche prove unsuccessful, until years later Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, comes along determined to make Alicia open up and tell it all. Will he succeed where everyone else has failed? Will Alicia tell Theo what happened that terrible night?This book is very well written and the characters and dialogue realistic. I have to say that from the beginning I felt very intrigued by the story and before long I found myself glued to this book. It was like peeling off the papery layers of an onion, one by one, each time coming that little bit closer to discovering the truth. This author certainly knows how to keep his readers entertained and interested. I felt excited and curious about what had really happened that night Alicia's husband ended up dead. Did she really kill him? Alicia and the famous painting she painted following her husband's murder are both shrouded in mystery. Is the truth there, visible and in plain sight for all to see in the painting? What is Alicia trying to say through her painting? Did Alicia purposefully place some clue there to tell us what happened through her art? I was very curious to see when or rather if Alicia would finally say something about what had happened and what that something would be.I truly enjoyed reading this book and couldn't wait for the ending to come to find out what had happened. I was all for giving this book 5 stars, until the famous 'twist' came along. From then on as far as I'm concerned, the plot went downhill. While I understand the author's intention of shocking or surprising the reader, I felt almost betrayed by him at that point after reading almost the entire book. It was an epic anticlimax for me, and that's why I ditched 2 stars from my rating.Having said all that, I still intend to read The Maidens, hoping the author doesn't ruin another good plot as in my opinion he did in The Silent Patient.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Loved the book. It was well written and neither my partner or I could put it down. Fantastic plot and a real surprise at the end. Neither of us could work out what was coming. Would recommend to everyone who enjoys mystery novels.
4.0 out of 5 stars Clever premise but not exceptional writing
I didn't see the twist coming, which is rare for me, and the premise was engaging and original...so for that I give it 4 stars. But the character development and writing was very basic and far too much exposition, it felt like an unfinished draft as it's very two-dimensional. I'm surprised it's the highest-ever selling debut in the world (as of 2019). I guess hype and marketing works.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant !!
Fantastic story, great insight in psychology and the best twist right at the end!Literally could not put this book down!!
4.0 out of 5 stars great twist
Fantastic writing and well paced. Did not see the twist coming! I’ve already recommended the book to friends. Worth a read.
MASTERPIECE!
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides is an absolute masterpiece of psychological suspense that kept me hooked from the very first page to the last. The story is an intricately woven thriller that revolves around Alicia Berenson, a famous painter who shoots her husband and then never speaks another word. Enter Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist determined to unravel the mystery behind Alicia’s silence.Michaelides crafts a gripping narrative filled with unexpected twists and turns, leading to a jaw-dropping conclusion that left me reeling. The writing is sharp and immersive, and the psychological depth of the characters adds a layer of complexity that is both fascinating and chilling. The tension builds masterfully, and the interplay between art, psychology, and human emotion is simply brilliant.The Silent Patient is not just a thriller; it’s a deep dive into the human psyche, exploring themes of trauma, trust, and the lengths we go to protect our secrets. This is a must-read for anyone who loves a well-crafted, intelligent mystery. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
