I honestly just can’t with a book that’s placing itself so heavily in the real world with (may I add, absolutely beautiful) descriptions of nature with obvious scientific roots… and then the main character is such a painfully unrealistic Mary Sue. 
A certain degree of it is normal if not enjoyable, but the dual description of someone who is basically feral and yet looks conventionally beautiful, teaches herself to do an untold number of things from books alone and seemingly never needs medical help or anything of the sort? I just couldn’t hold off the disbelief.

The fact that I trudged to the end of this book is due to the aforementioned beautiful descriptions of marshland, and a personal insatiable curiosity when it comes to whodunnits. I would honestly say the ending was the worst part of the book though, not for whodunnit but just the fact that it felt very forced and rushed.

I read this because it was so highly recommended. It was a fine read and I like the main character. The ending was fairly predictable. It was a fine read, not particularly exciting.

I devoured this book because I NEEDED to know the ending. A couple years later, I still have fond memories but wouldn’t list it as a fave.

Everybody was so hype about this book and it’s lowkey a little overrated


It took me a bit to get into it, but the end did have me hooked! 
Very descriptive (sometimes maybe too descriptive)

This book was unexpectedly my favorite book I read this year. The way this was written had me reeling the rest of it in so fast. I fell so deeply in love with the characters Kya, Tate, Jumpin & even Jodie. I went from wanting to hug Kya and keep her safe, to relating to her and maybe even fearing her a little bit. I gotta see the movie now.

This might be my favorite book I've ever read. A beautiful look at one's inner dialogue, loneliness, perseverance and our connection to Mother Earth. Loved every page of this book, and would recommend to anyone. Especially women who might feel a little lost in life. Thank you, Delia Owens.
