I read an excerpt from The Patient and wasn't impressed when I first read it. However, I decided to give the book another chance since the complete novel was available on Scribd. It was very promising until the end. I can't say too much without spoiling the story, except that the high hopes I held for this book were bashed to pieces.
The book's synopsis pretty much tells the storyline. It's written in first person -- like a diary, which made it somewhat interesting. Unfortunately, this is one novel that really turned out to be a dud for me. I'm sure others will disagree, but this particular novel wasn't what I expected. I'm going to be generous by giving it 1.5 stars rounded up to 2.
