5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for fans of suspense!, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep End (Signet) (Paperback)

A woman living separated from her husband, not sure whether she really wants this...a best friend who might not be so good after all...and a telephone that won't stop ringing - these are the main ingredients Ms. Fielding uses to create a book you won't forget. It was my first Fielding novel, I was still a teenager, and it got me hooked to her novels forever. A little anecdote to go with this: I lost the book shortly after having read it among my Mother's 1000 (!) books and as I had forgotten its title (thou not the author's name) I couldn't re-buy it. A few years later I spotted the novel in a dep store, recognized it by the text on the back cover - and BOUGHT IT ON THE SPOT! Definitely one of the best bools I ever laid hands on.

4.0 out of 5 stars ***DO NOT READ REVIEW FROM AUGUST 24, 2000***, August 27, 2005

This review is from: Deep End (Signet) (Paperback)

The purpose of the present post is to caution those reading reviews of Fielding's "The Deep End" against one, in particular: "A DECENT BOOK", written by "A CUSTOMER" on 8/24/00... it contains a massive spoiler!

Edit(5 years later): Really, Amazon?? You still haven't deleted that review?! Netflix does a better job protecting its members from spoilers! Thankfully, I tend to read books *before* reading reviews; however, for you normal people who read reviews first, I will leave my original post.

This review is from: The Deep End (Hardcover)

I really have enjoyed all of Joy Fielding's books, and this is one of the older ones I really had fun reading!!

Joanne, the main character of the story is a housewife raising 2 girls. She and her husband Paul have temporarily separated, and Joanne would like nothing more than to get back together again.

Along with everything else though, is these scary obscene phone calls that Joanne has been getting over and over again. This caller keeps telling her to read the morning paper, page 13, where a woman was cut to pieces. As the calls go on, Joanne is terrified, but nobody believes her. The last person to believe Joanne is her best friend Eve, who lives next door and has her own set of problems it seems. Eve is battling many different types of ailments that the doctors don't know what it is. And as time goes along further, Eve gets to acting a little stranger each and every day.

Joanne begins to wonder what is really going on with her best friend, and tries to put what is really going on together between the phone calls, and Eve's strange actions. What she discovers might be surprising, but she may be fighting for her life.
