The Split: The most gripping, twisty thriller of the year (A Richard & Judy Book Club pick)

Product Information

It is also actually fantastic timing because, while the review was written, I didn’t have an introduction because I had no earthly clue as to how I was going to start. This gave me a place to do so. It also gives me another point of reference for you. If I blow up the above picture? We weren’t even playing the same game. Hell, Bolton was playing a different sport that I didn’t even know existed. If I’m being perfectly honest? She was playing multiple sports, simultaneously, while I was celebrating a win that never existed. Sharon J Bolton was born and brought up in Lancashire, the eldest of three daughters. As a child, she dreamed of becoming an actress and a dancer, studying ballet, tap and jazz from a young age and reading drama at Loughborough University. Lucas faces a shattering accusation. At the same time their children Dylan and Lily start to implode. Dylan runs away and his father fights to save his reputation.

Sharon Bolton has assembled one of the most skillfully crafted suspense novels I have ever encountered. This is intelligent crime-writing at its best; not to be missed. ” Shots Split had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 26, 2016.

Estoy un poco defraudada con esta historia. Me llamaba la atención principalmente por un motivo: una pareja de chicas, que rompen y la protagonista, Ally roba a su gato. ¿Quién no querría leer ese libro? Sin embargo mi decepción ha sido encontrarme con que realmente esa parte de la historia tampoco es que tenga mucha importancia. Aún así, evidentemente no era el único motivo que tenía para leer la novela y es que por su sinopsis, pintaba ser divertida y no lo fue. I read so much that it was good to settle to a book and not care it took me a few days to read, I didn’t want it to end and to say it was left on a cliffhanger is true but maybe not as you would expect……. And all of this I absolutely loved about it. I would read a thousand books about lesbians being allowed to be just as messy as straight characters, to be allowed to make mistakes, hurt people, to not be forgiven. It’s all a very… human story, I suppose. It’s about learning from your errors, having the room to make those errors. Party people … Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan (as Nathan) in The Split.

I will add on about the characters that they are so incredibly crafted, even beyond just tone. Each of them are what they should be, whether you should be rooting for them or not, they are distinct and unique. They carry their role and voice throughout the story. In a statement about the movie, the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) cited a soon-to-be-released study of 173 people with DID. The researchers found that only 3 percent were charged with an offense, 1.8 percent were fined, and less than 1 percent were in jail over a six-month span. No convictions or probations were reported in that time period. In an open letter to Shyamalan, several activists said that " Split represents yet another gross parody of us based on fear, ignorance, and sensationalism, only much worse." [42] Accolades [ edit ] Award Ally is far from perfect but is very relatable and indeed all the characters were great - Jeremy, Ally’s lovely dad, Charlie and Sophie... maybe not the dreaded Emily. As a bit of a runner myself, I loved the running elements too. This tightly plotted spellbinder . . . Bolton keeps the reader guessing to the end.” — Publishers Weekly
