Olin kuullut Hiljaisesta potilaasta runsaasti hehkutusta, joten tartuin siihen kirjastossa. Kirja on varsin vetävä mysteeri, joka jää kuitenkin lopulta hieman latteaksi, osittain myös ennalta-arvattavuuden vuoksi.

Lisäksi kirjassa häiritsi hieman päiväkirjaosuudet, jotka eivät muistuttaneet päiväkirjaa lainkaan. Hahmot ovat kuitenkin taitavasti rakennettu eikä heistä voi pitää lainkaan.

I enjoyed the plot twist of this book and such but the only way to enjoy it is to weirdly enough, not over internalize it. It was shocking and addicting but overall i struggle with the poor display of mental health and the deeply based misogyny. Somehow this book makes the women look bad when a man is the bad guy and mastermind behind all of the evil.
