Sleeping with the Enemy - Nancy Price: 1986 **

I very rarely say this, but I found the book version of 'Sleeping with the Enemy' vastly inferior to the film. The film is really great, really exciting, but the book didn't appear to be in any way as heart-pounding, tearful or plain emotional. This was a shame because I did have high hopes for this, and was hoping the book would explain Sara's (Laura in the film) character in more depth. I just found myself increasingly frustrated with Sara, and didn't feel any sort of rapport with her at all. Whereas the film had a huge impact on me mentally and emotionally. I was glad to finish.
