Trust Your Eyes Linwood Barclay 9780451237903 Books

Wow. I have read only a few of Mr. Barclay's books and they have all been very good. But, Trust Your Eyes is exceptional! Very well written, the characters are strong and well defined and as I mentioned in the title of my review, it does start out a bit slow but then it's like a small snow ball that is rolling down a hill and it pick up more snow and it rolls faster and faster and this is the way Trust Your Eyes is written. It gradually garners your interest and then you are hooked!

Very intricate writing that is expertly woven in to an exceptional storyline. Most authors seem to jumble the storyline with too much detail and background, but Mr. Barclay gets to the point quickly, efficiently and with ease. Just when you think you have a part of the storyline figured out, something happens and you are taken into a different direction. Plenty of surprises to keep you reading until well into the night and then some. But the best part is the ending. It WILL knock your socks off!!

Bravo Mr. Barclay!

After reading Mr. Barclay's Never Look Away - which is the first book I've read by this author and was so good that I couldn't put down - I read Trust Your Eyes and fount that I couldn't put this one down either. It is another great read - another very original plot - full of twists and turns. I could not read it fast enough, proving that the first book wasn't a fluke - this man can write! If you like suspense/thriller type of books you will definitely want to add this author to your list.
Superb from beginning to end. No wonder Stephen King gave TRUST YOUR EYES such a solid endorsement.

I had read some of Linwood Barclay's earlier novels and I believe this author has finally discovered himself. The prose is excellent. Humor comes more naturally now that he's not trying so hard anymore.

His novel is very well crafted. It flows smoothly at all times, despite the complex structure and the rather ambitious plot. His characters are outrageous but very real. Never once did I wake up from the fictive dream. I was completely absorbed by this book.

You see, normally, I take notes on my . When I'm done with a book, I can see all the typos I've found, the inconsistencies, the times I felt bored, and the passages that just didn't work. On some occasions, I even highlight something I really like.

With TRUST YOUR EYES, I didn't make any notes. Not a single one. I was too engrossed in the book to pull myself away from the story. If there were any typos or errors of any kind, I didn't notice them. And though there were plenty of passages that warranted highlighting, I was too absorbed in reading the book to do even that.

TRUST YOUR EYES is a page-turner. There wasn't a single part I didn't like and the ending was handled masterfully.

After reading BAD MOVE, which was good, and BAD GUYS, which okay, and finally LONE WOLF, which was barely passable, the steady decline in Mr. Barclay's writing put me on the fence about reading more of his books, and if not for Stephen King's endorsement, I might never have bothered with TRUST YOUR EYES.

I don't know what happened, but Linwood Barclay seems to have evolved into a first-class thriller writer and he can now count me as one of his big fans.

If you love thrillers packed with mystery and suspense, this book is for you.
In Barclay's 7th standalone thriller, Ray Kilbride is back home with his schizophrenic brother after their father dies. Overwhelmed by the many decisions he needs to make for his brother's care, Ray is not prepared when Thomas tells him he thinks he's seen a murder online. With a lovely nod to Hitchcock's Rear Window, Barclay masterfully spins this suspenseful tale of an Everyman caught up in murder, conspiracy and sexcapades. The pacing is fantastic. I could not put this book down, and after plenty of twists I thought the ending was very good.

And bonus -- there's a small part for Promise Falls' Det. Duckworth from the author's Never Look Away!

I loved Barclay's depiction of Thomas, a schizophrenic who functions relatively well. Or does he? Thomas is as interesting as Ray, while staying within the limitations of his character. The author humanizes a population often maligned and ill-used in mysteries and thrillers.

As in other books I've read by this author, the characters, including the mentally ill Thomas, start out interesting and then grow more complex with the action and excellent narration. Chapters alternate between Ray's first person account and third person narratives that focus on a handful of other characters. The structure of the novel is roughly chronological but narrative shifts keep the reader in the middle of the action at all times. The tension and surprises are rewarding and fun. The villains are believable and frightening. You can imagine there are really people like that in the world, and how unfortunate for Ray and Thomas that they get caught up in the ills wrought by them!

Barclay is becoming one of my favorite authors. I've read three and they've all been great. It's so much fun when you find a new author! If you are looking for a well written thriller, this could be your lucky day.
