Discuss what makes the book a page turner/a bore?

In my opinion this book is a page turner because it is very thrilling and interesting.
I red this book in one week because I wanted to find out what the husband of Christine wants to do with her.

If you could change the plot, how would you do this?

I don't know how I could change the plot of this book because I really like this version and I don't know how I could make it even better.
I would maybe write and describe the psychologist a little bit more because we don't know anything about him and his life.

What makes the most important moment in the story? Give reasons why you think so.

Haha :-D
Well, I think that the most important moment in the story is also the scene where Christine finds out the truth about her husband because if Ben wouldn't have a secret, the content of the book would be very boring and it would have no sense.

Discuss your favourite scene. What did you find shocking?

My favourite scene is when Christine talks to her psychologist and he tells her that she is writing a diary to find out the truth about her husband.
I find it very shocking that Christine's husband Ben only tries to take out the advantage of Christine's illness.
I think that he is so selfish and egoistic!

Well, my favourite character of the book "Before I Go to Sleep" is Christine.

She works together with a psychologist and he tells her that she should start writing a diary. So she finds out a lot of her live...

Think about what you have learned from the book/what you did not know before.

 Well, I learned that I shouldn't trust everybody because there are so many people which are unscrupulous and selfish, they just do that, which is to their advantage.
Of course I also learned some new and quite suitable vocabulary.

A short summary of the plot, Part 2 :-)

One day, when Ben leaves the house to go to work, Christine's phone rings.
She hears a familiar voice, and she notice soon that she is talking to her psychiatrist. He tells her that she is writing a diary for some time and that she should hide it from Ben.

She opens the diary and the first sentence which she read is:
"Don't trust Ben!!!"

So Christine knows that somebody is playing a very bad game with her...

A short summary of the plot, Part 1 :-)

This book is about a woman who suffers from amnesia.

Every day in the morning, when she wakes up, she doesn't know the man which lies next to her in the bed, just the photos on the wall point out, that this guy is her husband.

She also thinks that she is 20 years old but when she looks in the mirror, she sees an old woman with a lot of wrinkles in the face.

Ben, this is the name of her husband, has to tell her every morning, that she has lost her memories since a tragic accident and because of this, she loses all memories during the night, when she sleeps.
