Open Water

The story portrayed in Open Water is an extremely intense roller coaster. Open Water starts out slowly, building the characters in rich detail before crashing you into the high powered emotions surrounding the death of Rennie and Willis's ability to deal with it and what it means to the only stability he has ever been able to accept. Although the characters appear to be people I have little, if anything, in common with, I found myself completely absorbed in their lives for the duration of the novel. I read this book a while ago, but it remains one of the best, most haunting stories I have had the pleasure to read. I would recommend it highly to anyone.
