Today I welcome you to Dark Places.
Yeah, I'm just reviewing the book written by Gillian Flynn.
Libby Day was just seven years old when her evidence put her fifteen-year-old brother behind bars. Since then, she has been drifting. But when she is contacted by a group who are convinced of Ben's innocence, Libby starts to ask questions she never dared to before. Was the voice she heard her brother's? Ben was a misfit in their small town, but was he capable of murder? Are there secrets to uncover at the family farm or is Libby deluding herself because she wants her brother back? She begins to realise that everyone in her family had something to hide that day... especially Ben. Now, twenty-four years later, the truth is going to be even harder to find. Who did massacre the Day family?
This book was good. The writing was great and it totally carried the Flynn mark. Characters and plot were not as great. It was not a psychotic and thrilling as Gone Girl. If you've already read Gone Girl you might be a little eency teensy bit disappointed. I don't suggest reading this alone in the dark because it has a depressing factor that may take hold of you. This vile little book is still insane, specifically the ending (which is another unpredictable one). I love there is no romance at all in this book, there are rarely any books without romance. Flynn doesn't need that to get people into her books. She does it just with her fantastic writing. I don't want to know what's going on in Flynn's mind to create these but good for her. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Keep reading!
