This book was not what I expected. As I read the book I found myself feeling sorry for Ben and his sisters, more so for Ben. His mom really could have done better by her children. The sad thing is there are women who can't pull themselves together because they are chasing a dead dream just like Patty. Runner was a P.O.S and of all the people in the book he should have had half his head taken off by that shot gun. Libby was left with so much guilt after her family was murdered and her brother put in prison. I think it was big of Ben to forgive her because after all she was a child who was coached. But she was all in all pathetic as hell. She basically was selling her story for a few hundred bucks after the donations ran out. Then for her to get mad because people moved on to other children that were killed or missing. She need professional help and probably medication. I really did not like how the book ended. It was a cliff hanger. I want to know what happened next. All in all it was a great book.

This is the type of book that keeps you wondering the truth the entire time. There was definitely a darkness to this book that made me think WTH? but I enjoyed the fact it was very different from my normal read. I enjoyed this easy suspense filled book and would recommend it. :)

Couldn’t get into it, I just kept wanting more to happen, main character doesn’t help herself in any way which frustrated me. It’s well written and bounced along enough to keep me reading until the end.
I really enjoyed this book! About halfway through, I had to put it down because I was starting to feel sort of melancholy, but I picked it back up and finished it overnight and I’m so glad I did. Gillian Flynn is such a master of the genre she writes in and so good at making her characters feel like real, fleshed-out people without being boring. The structure of the story was great and the end left me hopeful for what was to come in the main character’s life, just like Sharp Objects.
The book does deal with lots of heavy themes (obviously), but I had such a sense of relief and catharsis at the end. I can’t wait to read Gone Girl!
