My Review
Dr. Glass is a psychological thriller about a woman named Emma-Jane Glass. She's the titular character in the story. The story focuses on Dr. Glass as she goes about her day-to-day life-- helping patients, talking to her friend, just being normal. And then she gets a letter. An oddly threatening letter. And then another. Soon, Dr. Glass's life is spiraling out of control as she's kidnapped by one of her patients and made to suffer as he's suffered. Will she escape with her life?
Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I found the story a bit slow. It took a while to really build up to anything, and I didn't really find myself wholly invested until closer to the 65% mark of the story. That's when I started really flipping through the pages, trying to figure out how it would all end.
Drew is very manipulative and unlikable. Yes, he's suffering, and he's mentally ill, but Dr. Glass isn't making things much better. She's one of those characters you want to like, but she also does and says things that make her seem a bit morally ambiguous, I guess you could say.
I was also a bit frustrated with the ending. While I wasn't expecting a happily ever after, of course, I guess I was expecting something a bit more...satisfying.
The story was well-written, and while I did find it slow to get going, I also found myself unable to stop reading or look away. It's like a bad car accident, where you don't want to see what's happened, but you can't help but stare in shock at what's in front of you.
If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and want something a little different, check out Dr. Glass.
3.5 stars.
