A review by lannister
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

3.0

Dark places was a good book, it wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst, which is why I gave it what I’d consider the midway point of 3 stars.

I enjoyed finding out who the murderer was of the family, but I didn’t enjoy the ending. Patty deciding to get herself murdered for the insurance money just seemed stupid in my opinion, how would she know if they’d just kill her? And true to my point he also kills Debby.

Then we have Ben, the supposed murderer, he definitely wasn’t innocent in all of this, as much as that fanatic group says. He was a disturbed kid and I really didn’t like his character at all. I mean who lets their crazy girlfriend murder their sister? That’s fucked up??

I wanted to love this book I really did, but I couldn’t really stand any of the characters, I gave it three stars solely for the writing & the way the chapters were done. Not for the actually characters.
