Rendition Concering Books Derailed

Advertising director Charles Schine is just another New York commuter, regularly catching the 8.43 to work. But the day he misses his train is the day that changes his life. Catching the 9.05 instead, he can't help but be drawn by the sight of the person opposite. Charles has never cheated on his wife in eighteen years of marriage. But then Charles has never met anyone like Lucinda Harris before. Charming, beautiful and a seductively good listener, Charles finds himself instantly attracted. And though Lucinda is married too, it is immediately apparent that the feeling is mutual. Their journeys into work become lunch dates, which become cocktails and eventually lead to a rented room in a seedy hotel. They both know the risks they are taking, but not in their worst nightmares could they foresee what is to follow. Suddenly their temptation turns horrifically sour, and their illicit liaison becomes caught up in something bigger, more dangerous, more brutally violent. Unable to talk to his partner or the police, Charles finds himself trapped in a world of dark conspiracy and psychological games. Somehow he's got to find a way to fight back, or his entire life will be spectacularly derailed for good.

Evaluate Out Of Books Derailed

4 starsI saw that this was turned into a movie and so I decided to read it as I am planing to watch the movie (Jennifer Aniston was in it :)).I listened to the audiobook and it was fantastic! The narrator was so good, I wasn't confused on who was speaking. Also, I love the extra touches such as the special effects.Some parts dragged though. This is kind of a short book but at times, I just wanted it to be over.Maybe the main reason why is that the male MC made stupid decisions again and again

Loved the movie and have to say loved the book more, great story with plenty of twists and turns keeping it interesting.

In essence, Derailed is the story of an affair gone wrong. A rather average husband and father, Charles meets Lucinda on the train and is sucked into a torid affair. Yet when they finally venture to a hotel room, a man follows them, beats Charles up, robs them, and rapes Lucinda. In the aftermath, Charles is blackmailed, a man is killed, and his family is threatened. Yet was Lucinda who she really claimed to be?If I had to select one word to describe this novel, it would be contrived. Or

My rule is three tries and forget it. I tried three times and forgot this book except to write this review. Sure, I wanted to like it so as not to waste my time. Didn't work. This book is contrived with characters that are mostly names. They don't have much substance. They are shallow and superficial. It's as though the author only tells us a bit about them because he needed people in the story. Emotion seems fake or fabricated. Ugh. So one star from me. Wasted paper, wasted words. Oh, I did not

I was curious about the book because I had watched the movie last year. The book, as always, was much better than the movie. I liked the movie just fine, but the book adds so much more. I plan to read more by James Siegel. Good strong characters and a plot that kept me turning the page.

read it before the movie came out. save your time and just read the book. it keeps you hanging..........

Surprisingly, I disagree with most readers: I liked the film best. Still, a great thriller!
