Oh my! What a ride this book is! It was a delight to read something captivating. I could not book this book down and read it in about a day and a half because I also and to sleep, eat, and go to class.
I previously read another of Gillian Flynn's novels without evening realizing it was the same author -- Sharp Objects. Both were very good and I love her writing style. The movie just came out, so I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. I am looking forward to it!
