Paula Hawkins: "Into the Water"

Normally, I read only books of very old, classic authors, who unfortunately are already dead, like Hemingway, Fitzgerald and so on. Once i got in my hands book of Paula Hawkins. I don't really know nothing about her, but I know she is one of the moderns authors these days.

But that's okay. I've decided to try a modern book once or twice. It's not like I am betraying my Hemingway's love, right?!

Anyway, I've been reading her book called "Into the Water" and really, I was amazed by it.

This book is a mixture of modern literature and Stephen King's kind of a great storyteller style.

We jump into the crime scene at the beginning. We meet first main character, who seems to be the only main character. However later we meet the sister, her ignorance, her fears, her retrospection. All of that gives us a deeper look and more aspects about this case.

Paula Hawkins opens in front of us the gate to the world of childhood deep fears, feelings of being guilty, a need to take care of someone else's child, even though it's a family.

There are a lot of great story lines; crime scenes, family issues, fears hidden deep inside the character's souls.

This is the story, which will catch you from the first page. If you have a deep empathy inside of your soul, you will totally find yourself into their shoes.

This book contains so many feelings, emotions and struggles, that it will be hard for you to forget it.

But you need to know one thing, you will not find any happiness there. This story is full of negative, hard and deep feelings, which are very powerful. I could also totally recognize a little of Stephen King's style in Paula's writing style. Probably she doesn't even know, how close she is in her skills to the master of storytelling like King.

Suicide, abandoned child, deep fears from childhood stucked into the head, problems inside the family relations and the most important part: dead, tragedy and the family secrets.

I'm sure, if you read this book- you will not forget it.

Good job, Paula Hawkins.
