Sadly, I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as I liked BEAUTIFUL LIES. I found BLACK OUT very dark, in a gritty, uncomfortable way. I couldn't connect to any of the characters, and no matter how much I desperately wanted to like the heroine (the story was told from her 1st person POV), I couldn't. I found her weak and horribly victimized, and even when she finally took control of her life, to me she was too far gone for it to matter. I could never connect with her, could never muster either pity or sympathy for everything she'd been through. She was too much of a victim, and I wanted a true heroine. The story is well told, beautifully written, but it still didn't work for me. ( ) I like Lisa Unger and have read a few of her books - I'm a sucker for psychological thrillers and picked up Black Out because it looked promising. Overall it wasn't bad, though I did not particularly like any of the characters except Ophelia/Annie's dad, and I was not a fan of any of the character names: Ophelia, Gray, Victory, Marlowe, etc. The twists were good, though a little predictable, and I don't regret picking up Black Out. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:When my mother named me Ophelia, she thought she was being literary. She didnâ??t realize she was being tragic. On the surface, Annie Powersâ??s life in a wealthy Floridian suburb is happy and idyllic. Her husband, Gray, loves her fiercely; together, they dote on their beautiful young daughter, Victory. But the bubble surrounding Annie is pricked when she senses that the demons of her past have resurfaced and, to her horror, are now creeping up on her. These are demons she canâ??t fully recall because of a highly dissociative state that allowed her to forget the tragic and violent episodes of her earlier life as Ophelia March and to start over, under the loving and protective eye of Gray, as Annie Powers. Disturbing eventsâ??the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, the mysterious murder of her psychologistâ??trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie, who realizes she has to quickly piece them together before her past comes to claim her future an No library descriptions found. |
