Without further ado, let us get into some main details of the book first.

Name of the book: Then She Was Gone

Name of the author: Lisa Jewell

The genre of the book: psychological thriller novel

After finishing the book, I’ve written a review in which I share my thoughts and offer an analysis of the content. By sharing my impressions, I want to know if you will have the prowess in exploring the book’s psychological themes that are, in my opinion, abnormal and distorted. So, please dive into my review of this psychological thriller novel right now!

“I can only say Lisa Jewell has made a good thing of her writing skill and style in the book. I enjoy discovering her writing ability a lot more than enjoying perusing the content of the book. As to a kind of super fan of psychological thriller novels, they might find the whole book a thing chewing every bit of it with an aftertaste. However; as to the breed of readers who don’t prepare to covet having a desire of being deformed psychologically in an insane way, they might find the book ridiculous or even evil.

I was dismayed when I knew we have to brutally witness what Noelle, a math tutor, who has a sound educational background with exceptional talent would do by a student who is so innocent and pure that everyone will want to protect, in a so evil and inhumane way, getting our state of psychology to reach an awful level of abnormality when reading those contents. Floyd, a man, who possesses a great deal of sound education, would take the lightest of women in his life, arbitrarily having promiscuous sex with them without love and respect. These two characters in the book are crucial in forming the disappearance and death of Ellie, Laurel’s daughter. Although Lisa, the author, at last, has Noelle and Floyd killed in the book to show our world that evil and wrongdoings are to pay the price finally, I still cannot accept these two characters when we have reasons to believe that education is to nurture us to better people rather than deform us to deviants, and highly educated people are not supposed to create ugliness and inhumanity in our world even they would ultimately have to pay as a consequence. As to the biological storyline Lisa has made in the book, I have to say it is even more insane and absurd.

As though risking to invite immense doubts with its ridiculousness and insaneness, the book has its saving grace with the ending telling us Laurel can finally be learned the whole story of the disappearance and death of her daughter, Ellie, and with Poppy, Ellie’s daughter, she could likely be a bit compensated and tranquil.

As for me, I cannot but rack my brain thinking about the reasons why this book was once a bestseller, and I cannot make myself believe the rating of the reviews on it can be that high when I insist that the book is rife with abnormality without the least logic, especially in the aspect of biology, to convince us to believe the characters in the book are human. Without an alternative, I leave you guys to make your conclusion.”

I believe that some fans of Lisa or psychological thriller novels may want to teach me a lesson by reminding me that the book is a novel instead of an educational book that will teach. However; I want to emphasize that humans are vulnerable to the stuff we see or experience, and books have played a very heavy role in our lives causing us to contemplate what the world we are living in actually is. Authors, especially those having influences, have to carefully place consideration to different breeds of people before writing their work lest some immature people who have read their books should think negatively, or allow some who have behaved wrong or bad to feel they are legitimate to do so because they have found the characters in the books with the higher educational background are so. Writers are responsible for writing to benefit the human universe rather than play to the gallery and write with ridiculous or evil content as their pleasure. I have never expected fiction books to teach us as Aesop’s Fables do; however, I do worry the kind of book with crazy content will be followed by people to commit crimes, and as a matter of fact, not a few tragedies or disasters have told us books have this magical power.
