The Woman in Cabin 10

This book definitely took the breath right out of me and had me grasping the edge of my seat the entire time, so there was no shortage of excitement in this novel. Fast paced, with twists and turns at every corner, I was sucked into its plot until the very end and my head is still spinning even though I am officially done with it. This has been my first Ruth Ware novel and it was definitely a terrific one, I will be picking up more novels by her without a doubt.

The thing I liked the most about this novel was the outstanding plot, not many books can give me high blood pressure like this one did, I literally had to catch my breath a few times. From the very beginning, it captivated my attention and I couldn't put the book down because the pacing of the plot was flawless and there was not a moment where I felt bored or like I couldn't keep reading any further. On the contrary, I felt like I had to keep going, had to keep finding out more and getting more answers to all the questions I had. The plot was unlike any I've ever encountered before and that is saying a lot.

The writing style was also very well done and it was quite an effortless read, the story flowing easily and coming alive right before my eyes. The sentences themselves weren't overly simplistic and yet not redundantly stretched out either, just how I like them to be. It was easy to imagine what was going on to the point that I was able to see the story as it unraveled from the heroines eyes.

Since my previous books were mostly from different characters' perspectives, this book was different in that regard and yet I was totally okay with that. The heroine was someone that I felt I could definitely relate to in many ways and she had many flaws as well, which made her even more real and concrete in my eyes. Many times I felt as though I was feeling what she was feeling, her pain and dread and whatever other emotions she was feeling, were my own. Hence, why I am pretty sure this book gave me high blood pressure a few times. In a good, exhilarating way of course.

In conclusion, this book is a terrific mystery thriller and I would recommend it to anyone who loves that genre. I would advise that you clear up some time to read it in a few sittings at the most though, because it will swallow you up from the very first page and not let you relax until you have finished it to the very end. The only thing is, I wish the ending was a little longer and a bit more extended but overall it was an exhilarating and very fast paced read!
