THIS BOOK REVIEW IS ONLY BASED ON MY FEELINGS DURING READING THE BOOK. IT DOES NOT INTENT TO HURT ANYONE’S FEELINGS, AND DOES NOT MEANT TO COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER REVIEWER’S FEELINGS
“Tic — Tac — Toe…………… Tic — Tac — Toe …………….. People you see, may not be as it show….”
A Drunkard, Psychopath Woman, staying inside her five-storied house all the days and nights, holding a camera from the window, checking her neighborhood through the lenses.
A separated husband and daughter….. or are they????
A disturbed family on the opposite side of her house where the wife got killed…..or was she????
A simple teenager, who is locked inside the house….. or was he????
A tenant at the basement floor who was previously a convicted criminal……. or was he????
A bunch of people including a doctor, a gym trainer, a detective who thinks she is mad…..or is she????
It truly says Life or people may not be the same as we see through our eyes.
In the beginning, the story starts with a simple diary format, where Anna Fox is sharing her day to day life. There was nothing except drinking wine, watching old black and white movies, drinking, eating, taking medication, more drinking and watching through her lenses to check the neighborhood and then further drinking. Initially one may feel that the narrator is completely a psycho. But suddenly the story starts to take a twist. Then a twist, then another, then again a twist. The book becomes unputdownable once it takes the flow and before almost the last page one may not understand what actually is happening.
I’ll not share any more details about the story. It will be best if the readers check it themselves.
The overall narrative is in a diary form, some chapters covering half a page long. So it’s a fast read. The language is a lucid, crispy manner, and once you are involved in the story, you will feel like its happening just in front of your eyes. The author is brilliant. Overall I must say that this book is very good food for the readers who love thrillers, mystery and trust me you will not disappointed.

About the author
I liked the movie better than this book.
It’s quite confusing & plenty references to movies, books, the Western culture. It only gotten interesting after Ethan comes to visit. I somehow managed to finish it just to get to the twists. I found the movie more interesting & to the point compared with the book. The font’s too small & narratives leading is a drawback.Received in good paperback condition from Amazon.

Book Review :
Book : The Woman In The Window.
My Rating : 4/5
Author : A.J. Finn
Publisher : HarperCollins
Page Count : 448
Blurb : "What did she see?
It’s been ten long months since Anna Fox last left her home. Ten months during which she has haunted the rooms of her old New York house like a ghost, lost in her memories, too terrified to step outside.
Anna’s lifeline to the real world is her window, where she sits day after day, watching her neighbours. When the Russells move in, Anna is instantly drawn to them. A picture-perfect family of three, they are an echo of the life that was once hers.
But one evening, a frenzied scream rips across the silence and Anna witnesses something no one was supposed to see. Now she must do everything she can to uncover the truth about what really happened. But even if she does, will anyone believe her ? And can she even trust herself?"
What I think about this book :
The climax of the book somehow didn't reach up to my expectations. But the reasons behind my 4 star rating is :
1) Character Development
2) Story Formation
3) Setting. The setting played a major role in convincing me to fall for this book.
The character of Anna Fox is quite complicated to deal with. She is Agoraphobic .i.e Fear from places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness or embarrassment. Agoraphobia is a psychological disorder.
The characterisation of a protagonist with a psychological disorder was seamless. The narration is so clear that it was actually reeling in my mind like a movie.
The whole vibe of the book was really frightening yet enticing. It gave me The Girl On The Train vibes. Though both the novels surround around a mysterious plot, and gave similiar vibes, they were poles apart in their own way.
What I am most astonished about is that after finishing the book, while writing this review, I decided to do a little research about the author, when I did I was appalled to know that the book is written by a male author. The reason for this astonishment is that I had this conception that the writer of this book could be a female, because the way Anna's character is described is so vivid and deep, it felt like it has to be a woman.
When the story unveils, to me personally, it was quite unpredictable, but somehow I was expecting more. Still, I would say that I loved this book and I would highly recommend it because it is definitely worth a read.
Thank You.
