How do you write a book within a book? Jean Hanff Korelitz did it! This is a book about a novelist stealing the plot of a thriller from his own student! Is it plagiarism if an author uses an idea for a plot of a book which was never written?

I did struggle a bit in the beginning, as it started out slow and it took me time to familiarize myself with the author's writing style. Once I did though, I was sucked in! As as avid reader, it was also interesting to know what a writer has to go through to write, publish and promote their book. It was very informative about the whole writing process, and the beginning of Jacob’s career and how he got to the present where he is now a world famous author.

The Plot is a slow burning and highly entertaining novel! It's smart, clever and believable. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys a mystery, and/or a book that'll keep you gripped.
