Lindsay L’s review of The Quiet Tenant > Likes and Comments

Sorry you suffered through this one Kaceey@

Uh oh…VERY glad I don’t have this on my list…so sorry it was a huge miss! 😞

Thanks Dorie and Catherine!

Pink - 😑I should just link your review….

Yep I understand that rating !!! I hope you enjoy your next one more after such a painful time with this one 😂

I was not a fan, either.

Uh oh…sounds like one to skip!

Thanks Margaret - when I read your review while I was reading this I knew I was in the same boat as you. Not for me (should have DNF’d!)

Sorry to hear it Cynthia. Hope you’re loving what you are reading now!

Definitely skip it Jan! I think you’d feel the same as me!!! Completely unbelievable storyline with clunky writing 😬

This does not entice me! Thanks for the warning.

It would likely work out better for you Carmel, but I wanted to be honest. Hope you’re loving your current reads!

Bummer. I’ll not be adding. Thanks Lindsay

Fantastic and honest review, Lindsay! I agree with all that you write. I am glad that we are on the same page with this one!

I’m definitely the outlier Jen. Maybe it would work better for you?

Thanks Meredith! You and I are often on the same page with our thoughts 🤗

Sorry this was a major flop Lindsay! Hope you love the next one!

Thanks very much Suzy!

But, but, this was supposed to be "A pulse-pounding psychological thriller...", Lindsay! 😄

Haha Terry - it definitely didn’t live up to that for me! 🤣😂🫠

Hmm...seeing lots of mixed reviews so it's going on the back burner for me. Thanks Lindsay!

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts Jan but I have a feeling you’d feel the same as me. Hope your current reads are great!

Thank you, Lindsay. Sometimes the reviews of disappointing books are the most helpful. So little time, want to skip the right ones! On to a good one for you!

Thank you Sara! I agree!

Sorry this was such a clunker, Lindsay! So disappointing.😢

Thanks Jodi - a big disappointment for me but I’ve moved on to better! Hope you’re loving what you are reading!

Thanks Lindsay - I really am!!

I also felt quite let down by this one and don’t understand all the hype over it,

Just finished and didn’t like it either. I wanted to mention though, it wasn’t translated to English. The author’s first language is French, but she wrote it in English.

Stephanie - welcome to the outlier table! Hope you love whatever you pick up next!

Sorry it didn’t work out better for you either Jenn. Thanks for clarifying that - I was under the impression it was translated. I’ll make a correction in my review - thank you!

Totally agree! I was disappointed by this one too. Great review!

Thanks Jayme! I’m finding out a lot more people felt the same way as me than I expected

Thank you for your review! Thank God push it off my TBR Libby queue for a while.

You’re welcome Wendy! Hopefully it’ll work out better for you if you do get around to reading it.

Yes.. spoiler but 5 years in captivity is so unrealistic and she didn’t come out looking like a rag doll for his daughter to even bat an eye. I’m about to dnf @ 32%

Grim - I agree! I suggest DNF’ing because it doesn’t get any better from there…😬

@ Lindsay L - that makes me feel better about my decision dnfing because I was hoping it would at least get better lol

Grim - on to better books for you!!!

@Grim Jaycee Dugard would disagree that the plot is unbelievable

I couldn’t survive ~ 40pages. Nothing is believable about the story.

Sorry it didn’t work out better for you either Darina. Hope you love whatever you pick up next!

Unfortunately the plot is believable- Jaycee Dugard, Elizabeth Smart, Elisabeth Fritzl, Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus...

I do understand that Jen. Unfortunately this particular book just wasn’t written in a believable way for me. I’m so glad it was a winner for most others though 😊

It was ok for me. Not great but not horrible.

I’m glad it was ok for you Laura! 😊

WOW!! I am just loving this masterpiece!!

So glad you’re loving it Momma!

You’re entitled to your opinion. And wanted to point out that the phrases “a father” and “a daughter” were only used from “Rachel’s” point of view. It showed her observational stance towards the situation, which I regarded as a coping mechanism. She was not part of the family. And she could not humanize them too much. I don’t think it has anything to do with language barriers…

CC - that’s a good point! I know that was a “me issue”. Sadly, I just didn’t click with the writing, but happy most other readers did! 🙂
