Suspense is a feeling of pleasurable fascination and excitement mixed with apprehension, tension, .
Once I had a discussion with my daughter Deborah about the distinction between a thriller and suspense. I came to my own conclusion that a thriller tells you what happens as you read, and a suspense tells you the answer at the end of the book. Rightly or wrongly, I prefer suspense.
I was just finishing reading this Go Girl, taunted as Observer's Thriller of the year. I did not particularly enjoy the book, but as usual, I soldier on in reading a book unless it is really really bad.
Then I watch an ad on TV about the movie, and showed Ben Affleck, who I really like. OK, I read the book, I like Ben Affleck. But will I go to watch the movie? My ears will hurt when there is too much vulgar language. I wonder why Gillian Flynn had to used all those language.
