I enjoyed this one, if one can really say they enjoy a book of the sort that Gillian Flynn writes. I thought it was much better than Gone Girl, although I still liked Sharp Objects better. Dark Places deals a lot with the Satanic Panic. The main character is not a terribly nice person, but not...

I am feeling so incredibly unmotivated and since there are already a zillion reviews of this book here, there and everywhere, I shall be brief. Is there really a need for a zillion plot synopsis-ez, anyway? My lazy side says no, no, there’s definitely no need today.I didn’t like the characters but I...

Initial reaction: Man, I'm so conflicted.Need a night to think on what I should say about this book, but overall - the only reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars is because there were times this narrative dragged its feet a little more in some places than others. But the rest of it: stellar. I thin...

I'm glad I read Gillian Flynn's books in this order: 1. Sharp Objects 2. Gone Girl 3. Dark Places I thought Gone Girl as excellent, and it was, but Dark Places took it to a whole new level. I don't want to give any of the plot away on this one, but I do want to say if you're a Gillian Flynn fan ...

THIS WAS IT! This was my favorite Gillian Flynn novel. Initially, I couldn't get into it and I realized that it was because of two reasons (1) my head wasn't into it. I wasn't ready for it, (2) I didn't like Libby at all!! But after regrouping and taking a break, I couldn't put it down. Libby wasn'...

If I'm being honest, I'm still not sure how I feel about Gillian Flynn as an author. Although I've now read all three of her books, and I would say I've enjoyed them all in their own way, there is something about them that always makes me feel unclean, as though I've been soaking in a pit of humanit...

I was VERY excited to start this. Been putting off Gillian Flynn's novel because I still wasn't ready to read something like this. I loved Gone Girl with Amy's sharp and unforgiving mind and the twist in the middle of the plot. It was engraved into my mind as I started this; that somehow, Gillian Fl...

The first few chapters of this one were crazy good. I was hooked right away. It did wane for me toward the late middle and the ending itself didn’t really gel with me either. Not horrible, but I was a bit confused and honestly was hoping it was going in a different direction. *Major Spoiler Alert* ...
