danaslitlist's review against another edition
Which is shame because I was about 6 hours in and overall was having a decent time. This book has good bones and was entirely wasted on an author who is clearly more interested in “BOOM GOT YA!” twists than actual sense and emotion.

Los otros personajes desde los que se ve la historia son igual de deprimentes e insoportables.
La autora tiene una facilidad para crear personajes horrendos, desagradables, decadentes y describe una historia muy turbia y depre, una tragedia sucia y sin pelos en la lengua.
Lo terminé porque quería resolver el misterio, porque sino era una lectura abandonada. No conecté con ningún personaje y eso lo hizo difícil. Además de que menciona temas complejos, como suicidio y pederastia. Y que se yo, una advertencia vaga no estaría mal...
Si quieren leer un libro de Gillian Flynn mejor lean Perdida.

The author really set the mood well with her vivid descriptions of the characters and the settings in Missouri and Kansas.
At times though, I found that there were too many unnecessary details.
I partially read, partially listened to this book (the four narrators did a great job).
Although I liked this book, it's my least favourite by the author (the only one I haven't read is The Grownup), with my favourite being Sharp Objects.
This is quite a dark, depressing and grizzly story so you might want to check TW.
