I think from what i've read so far about this book is that this book is going to be a very good book. well my teacher had told us to only read chapter one and ive read up to chapter 18 so what does that tell you. I'm still wondering if it was elizibeth that sent the e-mail, and if shes still alive or not. It's very thringing reading about dr.beck and his seach to find out if his one true love is still alive of if its a hoax.
i was a litle confused with the way the author goes from the lake to 8 years later with the pregnant girl, i think he should explained what happend with elizabeth?
I thought the first chapter of Tell No One really opens the book with great deal of detail. The main character David talks about his diseased wife Elizabeth and the grief that comes along with coping the aftermath of her death. An example of this is on page 21 of the text, when David is saying " I kept hearing that "better to have loved and lost" bullshit. Another falsehood. Trust me, it is not better. Don't show me paradise and then burn it down..." This statement shows the reader that he is not over the tragic death of Elizabeth and that he is quite depressed as well as being overwhelmed with peoples "deepest condolences."
the book so far its been pretty intresting from the start, it started by telling a love story then turn out to be a everyday sadness for him after the night when he's wife got kidnaped, he felt guilty for not being able to do anything about it. After he got the email he should realize that maybe his wife is not dead due to the fact that the email had private information which only Elizabeth and him would know.
It was a little differnt the way the book started, but was very interesting and gave you a reason to keep reading and just really grabs you. I thought it was a little boring when he went to lunch with Shuna, but once they move on you get hooked once again.
i think chapter one was very interesting because like Dr.Becks wife or gf passed away a while ago and suddenly there this person thats leaving Dr.Beck emails sayen stuff that only him and his wife new about....like if i was Dr.Beck i would be freaked out like i would belive that my wife is still alive or something which wouldnt be tru becase Dr.Beck went to the funeral and wake for his wife and now someone is messing with his head.
i thought that the first chapter was very interesting. It had some real issues in it that some people face today such has homo-sexuality and teen pregnancy. as i was reding the first chapter i felt sorry for mr beck, with it being his 21 anniversary and his wife being dead it must of been really hard. and then to have an e-mail saying happy anniversary and kiss time. i would have been upset just like he was because just like he thought someone was toying with me. all in all i thought the first chapter was very good there was so much information and i thought it really grasped the readers attention
So far I love the book, it was hard to put it down. It seems that Dave and Elizabeth had a good marriage, until she is take away from him. It hunts him that he couldn't save her, but now he has hope that she is alive. MJR
I still can believe that someone could take away another persons life. This person is really sick and has nothing better to do. I hope this person will get caught soon.
I thought chapter one was interseting because it kept me asking question about what realy happen to Elizabeth. I think that Dr.beck killed her because in the book it say "i almost told her right then and there, but somthing pulled me back." I think he has a secret. Deadly secret!
Elizabeth and David should of stayed together all through the time. Once she left the river, and got in trouble and called David's name, David should of responded to her call. Eight years passed, did he every looked to find or see what happened.
I disagree with Jenn, I don't think that Dr. Beck killed Elizabith, he loved her, from the age of seven, and his love for her is still there after all the years of thinking that she is dead.
I would have to agree with Allen when he says that the author goes from the lake to eight years later. It's hard to understand but once you get into more of the chapters it gets better to understand. Samantha
I would have to say that the book is very good. It only gets better once you get deeper into it. It's also very confusing on how it goes from one person to the next. So you really have to pay attention to each chapter. Samantha
It is very tough out their in the world but don't get off tract until you keep reading each chapter. The book gets better and you will understand the reason and why. Samantha
I would also say that I disagree with Jen. I don't think that Dr. Beck killed Elizabeth because hes really hurt by the way he couldn't do anything to save her. Also he spends all that time trying to find her and help her. Samantha
i thing that these past few chapters have been really interesting. mr beck had gone through alot of stress, from finding out two dead bodies was found burried on his property, to being suspected in being involved in the murder then finally after all of that seeing your wife in a web cam who's suppose to be dead! i wouldn't be able to handle all of that in one day if that was me. i felt that these chapters really grasped my attenttion and left me with a big cliff hanger. i cant put the book down!!!
I am in chapter 6 and I found only one thing interesting about it, where did the e-mail is coming from? but what did vic letty has to do with all this, I would have to disagree with most of my classmates, am sorry but suspense in not my type.
The first chapeter i had read was very interesting i started reading more chapters i cant put the book down. I like these mistreys book. I am still wondering whats going to happen with Elizabeth still wondering what really happened to this poor girl. I feel bad about david and how he is taking all this hopefully Elizabeth is still alive n will be back with David very soon.
