Book Reviews of Enduring Love: A Novel
Book Review: "Dressed Up" Thriller that's actually conventionally cheesy
Summary: 2 Stars
I expected this book to be a lot more clever and psychologically probing/provocative than it actually was. Which is why I totally misread what was going on (much to my disappointment). Without giving too much away, throughout most of the novel, I thought Parry was just a figment of the increasingly erratic and paranoid narrator's imagination. His creation of Parry stemming from his midlife career/identity crisis and fear of commitment. I kept going back and forth: Is/isn't Parry real? I thought that was fascinating and was unpleasantly surprised that it was just a mundane "Fatal Attraction" type thriller. I was truly annoyed. Don't get me wrong. It was well-written, especially the first chapter (which has already been stated many times.) But as psychologically insightful and twisty, it left a lot to be desired.
