BEHIND CLOSED DOORS by B.A. PARIS

"I was drawn in by the reviews and the book summary but what I thought might be another "Girl on the Train" was actually a pretty messed up story. The book includes abuse of women, including intended abuse on a handicapped girl .." "This book was fairly predictable from the first page. And, I found it impossible to believe that in today's world, this woman wouldn't have been able to stand up for herself. Just too weak a premise to be an enjoyable read.." "Behind Close Doors is a suspense/triller like no other. It keeps you on the edge of your sit every single page" "I was excited because my favorite types of books are thrillers and this certainly fit the bill. Very intense and disturbing at times, but also really hard to put down. It's basically about a woman who falls in the love with the perfect man only to find he's not so perfect after all.." "最後まで、ぐいぐいよめて面白かったです。こいいう外づらのいいサイコパスの男って、あるあると思って読んでいました.." "過剰な暴力描写が無くても、これだけ怖いサスペンスが書けるんだというお手本のような作品" "まさにサイコ・サスペンスにふさわしい一冊でした。海外作品にありがちな読みにくさは皆無で、初めから日本語で書かれた文章のようでスラスラ読めます。無駄な会話が全くなくテンポもいい。評価の高さにも納得です.." 반응이 다양한 책이다. 초중반정도 읽으면 이 책을 계속 읽어야 할지 고민을 하게 된다. 글의 참신함은 기대하기 힘들 정도로 대략적인 이야기의 내용을 추측할 수 있다. 이 작가의 다른 작품들과 비슷한 점도 있고 다른 작가들의 작품들과도 비슷한 느낌을 주는 책이다. 다만 이 책은 정말 무난하게 쓰여진 책이어서 읽기에는 편하다. 영어공부의 목표와 이와 같은 장르의 책을 좋아하는 사람이라면 읽어도 시간낭비는 아니다. 사실 이 작품을 칭찬하는 사람들도 꽤 있는 베스트 셀러이기 때문에 원서로 읽기에 좋은 도전이 될 수 있다. 핵심어는 psychopath, down's syndrome, irresponsible parent, abuse, sado, hypocrisy, trauma, mental disorder, red room, indifferent, fear, overdose, murder, locked, helpless 등이다.
