The Silent Patient - Book Review (no spoilers)

The Silent Patient is a brilliant psychological thriller by Alex Michaelides. It is the story of art, trauma, love, affair and betrayal. The plot is simple and it becomes a page turner by his narration.



Unpredictablity is the key for a successfull thriller. Mr.Alex have done well. Even, the type of narration can be identified at the last part of this novel. Alex succeeds in holding the attention of the readers. Really, The Silent Patient is a page turner like A.J.Finn's novel.



His experience as a screen writer also helped him a lot. He knows how to present a story in a different way. This novel is adapted for screen presence but I think there is no need to adapt. The writing already gave the screen experience and it is effective. Overall, The Silent Patient will make you read silent till the end.

Good reads 4.1/5
Bibliophile 3.5/5
Sharkz scale 3.5/5
