Thrillers - Text

The thriller genre can span many different entities, including both film and text. A recent thriller text I read was 'Enduring Love', by Ian McEwan. The text centers around Joe Rose, and his new found stalker Jed Parry.

Joe tries to find the solution to Jed's obsession, and consequently enters many tense arguments with Jed. Other scenes also include a shooting, and a scene where Joe's girlfriend is taken hostage. Overall, the text is classified as a thriller, even though it ventures into several genre.
The novel has been made into a film, which is also put into the category of a thriller.
