Gillian Flynn wrote that other book. You know which one I'm talking about. The only comparison I'm going to make to that other book is...... Gillian Flynn can take a story with completely unlikable characters and make it compelling. I don't necessarily need likable characters if the plot and pacing...

Who hasn’t heard of Gone Girl? It was everywhere last year and because I loved the writing, I’m ploughing through Gillian Flynn’s back catalogue. Dark Places was her second book and written in 2009 (Sharp Objects was her first in 2005 and is high up on my TBR list). Dark Places is a much more harrow...
Lift Your Head, Princess. If Not, the Crown Falls.
You would think my 1st Gilian Flynn novel would be Gone Girl..But no, I decided to read Dark Places 1st. Dark Places is one of those books that keeps you guessing about what happened to the characters til the very end. Like, seriously, some of the stuff that actually happened to the Day family on th...

Having read the rest of Gillian Flynn's books, I must say this one is the one I liked the least, maybe because the author had me used to weird twists at certain points in her books but in this one everything was more or less predictable and not that interesting. I kept expecting something amazing to...

Dark Places is the first novel by Gillian Flynn I've read and I must say that I loved it. The story was complex and creepy; it was hard for me to put it down. I didn't want to stop reading until I knew for sure what exactly happened that led to the deaths of a normal family. I know a lot of people s...
