noticiasdelimperio 's review for:
The Complete Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl, Dark Places, Sharp Objects
by Gillian Flynn
literally i didnt even have time to log this because i started it last week and i was up to page 16 until this morning and i JUST finished it oh my god
i feel like... theres a lot to this book so im just going to list some things
- i think having the crellins' source of income be a factory pig farm is a really good choice because of the contrast it creates with this image of the like. genteel old money southern neets they project, especially alan and adora
-speaking of alan i feel like the adjectives used to describe his character really get the image across, especially the connections between him and the food he eats. the sardine scene... i felt physically disgusted. he kind of reminds me of uncle julian in we have always lived in the castle because he projects that same ind of limy nothingness, except alan is less sympathetic i think
-this story is so profoundy usamerican like i cannot imagine it taking place in any other location except the us
-i really like the plain like. ugly ass details written in like the meth acne on some kids or the description of the neighbor's hunting shack etc. i feel like some books that deal with Families With Secrets TM try to glamorize the situation and i like that this does not
-i enjoy the commentary on femininity and these ideas about performing femininity projected through the female characters
-amma crellin is fucked!!!! up!!! but i feel like she also fits into a specific subset of female charcters in literature where they're around 13 or so, precocious, and extremely cruel and like. i do know that some of the girls i went to school with when i was around that age were mean and acted older than their age and certainly some of the violence amma and her friends inflicted on others seems realistic to me especially due to the sexual aspect of it which comes off as really verosimile but?? did i normalize this cruelty growing up??? this trope had to be based on something
