A review by gayatriii
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

2.0

Flynn creates the most dark, tragic, brooding, gloomy atmospheres I have ever encountered. Absolutely no one is likable in this book. They all live vile, filthy lives mostly undeserving of any respite. It's beautiful writing, really.

But the plot? Amateur at best. A whodunnit with an absolute cop out of an ending. Despite the amazing mood the book set, it left me thinking 'what a fuckin waste'.

Gone Girl was great, this was dismal. Hopefully Sharp Objects will be somewhere in the middle.
