Anna O: A Novel | Matthew Blake

Mehso-so

Anna Ogilvy hasn‘t opened her eyes for four years, since she was found asleep holding a knife, having killed her 2 best friends. Ben Prince is tasked with waking her up so she can face a trial.

Supposed to be a thriller, I think, my overall impression of this book was that it was LONG. At one point I thought I was halfway through but was only at 10%. 😬

A few other annoyances with editing ⬇️

squirrelbrain ….and writing style make it a so-so. There was a supposed diary, but it was written in first person present continuous (I am running etc) and who writes a diary like that? There were also case notes from doctors that were present tense and included reflective thoughts about themselves, not the patient. Both read like streams of consciousness thoughts, not what they were meant to be. The author needed different devices to move the plot on. 4mo
Megabooks That is a huge pet peeve of mine. No one is going to write a diary like that!! 4mo
BarbaraBB Hmmm.. thanks for reading this, I won‘t need to 😉 4mo
