Kay Norris, who automatically becomes in our mind as amazing Sharon Stone, moves into an impressively high building. After a divorce, with a nice, independent position in a book publishing company, with a cat and open mind. I do not want to spoil more, but she will get involved in game-relation with a younger, of course insanely handsome but troubled man.

After reading the book and watching the movie (plus accessible on YouTube alternative ending) an essay can be written about interpreting the image of the female main character.

So, my favorite Kay Norris is from the book. She is presented as an independent, strong, decisive, intelligent woman with a career and a sense of humor. While in the movie we get uncertain of her body, shy and dependent character. Partly, because of that, the game she plays with Pete is somehow less interesting. However, the movie is heavy from the tense atmosphere and I miss this kind of thrillers in modern TV.

But, coming back to the book itself. Unfortunately, as a guilty pleasure position, it was too tiring. In the English version, it was sometimes difficult for me to distinguish “he” and “she”, as the main characters talked about many neighbors and themselves. The action often wants to rush forward but is stopped by descriptions of the organization of the week, located (bare or not) feet on a given piece of furniture from a given angle, consumed yogurt, etc. However, the book is not long and that bad. In the end, I am happy to know the original behind the movie.

Rewelacyjne budowanie napięcia w na pozór zwyczajnych okolicznościach. Kto jest wrogiem - drugi człowiek czy wszechobecna technika otaczająca współczesnego człowieka? Czego boimy się najbardziej - świata i innych ludzi czy samych siebie? Warto przeczytać, mimo że książka jest przecież dość stara i od tamtej pory kino i literatura przerobiły ten motyw wielokrotnie. Mimo to przez sentyment szczerze polecam.
