Stephen King has highly praised Carole Johnstone's psychological thriller Mirrorland, and it's not any wonder, because his book is featured in such a large part of it. That is, King's book that tells the story of Shawshank Redemption, and whose Finnish title reveals the entire plot. The film that was made from it is, according to Imdb's list, the best film in the world.
Mirrorland is about a woman named Cat who, after the disappearance of her identical twin sister El, returns to her childhood landscape in Scotland. Another unreliable narrator who conveniently doesn't remember anything about her past.
At one point I misunderstood and thought that a certain plot twist happened in Mirrorland. Well, it didn't, and that was a big disappointment for me. Because the plot twists that actually happened in the book were boring and predictable.
At the end of the book, I kept thinking that this was the end. Well, it just didn't end, not at all. The unnecessary chatter just went on and on.
So, once again, this is a book where you can safely skip most of the text. There was very little actual plot.
