Nice quick read but the story didn’t capture me as I wished it would.
None of the characters are likeable and everyone is so twisted and disturbed which made for a good story.
I just felt like not a lot happened for 70% of the book and everything was squeezed into the last bit. For me it just felt a little rushed.

Tenía toda una reseña escrita sobre como encontré un tweet en twitter con un clip adjunto de la revelación de la serie y eso me orillo a leer el libro aún con spoilers. Sobre lo escabrosa que es esta obra con frases como "Pueblo chico, infierno grande" y hablando sobre la crueldad, perdida de humanidad, y si preguntando si la maldad es innata o adquirida pero se me ha borrado, así que solo diré; todos en este libro son como mínimo detestables. Victimas o victimarios no importa, casi todos lo son también. Madres, hijas, hermanas, amigas, desconocidas.
"A la gente le gustaría que hubiese sido él, porque entonces eso significaría que… el mal no ha venido de Wind Gap, sino de fuera."
4 estrellas, porque es el primer libro donde no existe ni un personaje completamente redimible pero me ha gustado.

The entire time I was reading I just wanted to get to the end. I was solely interested in who the killer was and the other details seemed to drag. The characters were so unlikable, even the narrator; I just wanted some redeeming qualities. The ending was good tho.
Had to go back and downgrade it to a 1 star cause after thinking about it, the writing seemed to romanticize cutting and thinking back on the story made me nauseous and not in a good murder mystery way.

I enjoyed the book but nothing super special about it to me. It felt weirdly paced and then everything happened and it was over, not as satisfying. I get the twist and why people would like it but I need something else to get it above a 3 star review. Oh well, I enjoyed it enough but not really my cup of tea.

Second Gillian Flynn book I read, and again.. Was sucked in. Gripping. Loved the ending. Didn't expect it which I loved. Will continue to read everything she writes.
