The Complete Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl, Dark Places, Sharp Objects
by Gillian Flynn
Brilliantly written and crafted and terrifying. This book took me through a full range of emotions over the course of the ... what, 24 hours I took to read it because I could not put it down? The characters are flawed, horrible, realistic (and psychopathic!) all at once. This book is going to stick with me for a long, long time.
The back-and-forth PoVs work brilliantly to weave a portrayal of a marriage gone wrong in every way possible between two people who have an addiction to each other. The ending is just ... wow. Wow. The ending threw me for a loop. I wanted something else to happen. The entire book could be described like that, though: Gillian Flynn's writing and narration leads the reader through conviction and uncertainty, doubt and a strange, tickling feeling at the base of the skull where you don't know what's happening but you sure do feel like you do... I kept wanting 'something else' to happen. And then when it didn't, I felt even more satisfied (yet betrayed!) by the path the plot took.
Intricately plotted and incredibly intelligent, this book is up there on my all-time favourites list. Wow.
