Gillian Flynn

3.92 AVERAGE


Have seen the miniseries twice all the way through and decided to read the novel.
Gillian Flynn has a ridiculous level of talent at inhabiting the voice of whoever the character is; Camille’s self-loathing, anger, and despair bleeds into every aspect of the story.
I almost wish it was longer, but again, the brevity is fitting of Camille.
Pure brilliance.

4.5 No complaints-I liked this book! The reveal of the killer wasn’t completely shocking but I still think the buildup was good! I would have liked to learn a bit more about Adora and Amma. I was also intrigued by Camille’s past with her self inflicted wounds, I thought that was an interesting aspect to understanding the main character. Flynn’s writing style is great and built the scene of Windgap well.

I wanted to love this book so bad, but it just wasn’t for me! For a thriller, I didn’t find it very thrilling. There are some disturbing scenes throughout, but everything in between just dragged for me. I did enjoy the last 2-3 chapters the most as the final pieces came together.

WOW WOW WOW
read this in less than 48 hours it’s so much darker n horrible than things i normally read but was sooo well done i didn’t mind
dark emotional mysterious sad tense

4.5 ג'יליאן פלין היא סופרת מדהימה לדעתי, כל הסיפורים דלה פשוט מפחידים והזויים וזה מה שאני אוהב בה, הספר הזה היה מאוד מוצלח, לדעתי הוא יותר טוב ממקומות אפלים
ממליץ לכולם!
