Fantastically well-written, but the most unpleasant collection of main characters I've ever encountered in one book. Like having a gourmet picnic in a sewer.
I'm thouroughly mind-fucked. Holy shit. I did NOT expect any of that.
ill start it with you i just got it for my kobo thing kk
This is the first book I've read by Gillian Flynn & it was great right up until the very end where it seemed to just fall off a cliff into nothingness. I was so disappointed! I was hoping for a happy, vengeful ending, but any ending would have been something. It left me with my mouth open thinking, "But what happens now!"
Funny how what one reader does not like the other one really likes. I thought that the ending of this book was fantastic! It let me go on for weeks thinking about what could possibly happen next... but also it made me think that there might be another book coming at one point and if it is written the way this one is than I would say "bring it on"
I don't understand the huge popularity of this book. Yes, it is extraordinarily well-written, narrated by the 2 main characters with absolute control of voice by Flynn. It is also one of the most deeply chilling, disturbing books I have ever read, if not the most. The ending reveals profound evil so horrific that it makes Hannibal Lecter look like a chubby-cheeked choir boy. Not gory, mind,just pure, largely unexplained evil. Predictable is the last word I'd use - perfectly plotted, yes, with some small details near the beginning come full circle to tie everything up at the end. This is a book that will keep you up at night -- not to find out what happens next but it is grounded in one of the darkest views of human nature I for one have encountered.
