The Fury by Alex Michaelides

3.0

This was a 2.5 for me.

I read Michaelides' The Silent Patient a few years ago and found myself in what felt like the minority in that I didn't really like it. I was looking for a book set in Greece as I'm heading there in a few weeks, and when I found this, decided to give him another shot. Having finished it, maybe he's just not for me.

There are specific reasons why I didn't enjoy this story, but I can't get into it without giving any spoilers. What I will say is more than once at the end of a chapter I said out loud, "F*** this book." It's not a bad story, but something about the delivery really irked me. I also found all of the characters to be unlikable and wasn't rooting for anyone, which made for a less than stellar experience.

If you're into this author and enjoy drama/whodunits, you may like it. It just wasn't for me.
