Dark Places by Gillian Flynn



Author:  Gillian Flynn
Genre:  Mystery, Thriller, Horror, Crime, Fiction, Suspense
Target Audience:  Adults
Reading Experience:  8.5/10
Story:  8.5/10
Writing:  8/10
My Verdict:  8.5/10



This should only be categorized as horror.  Pure, raw horror.  I felt like Carrie from Stephen King's novel of the same name, when they poured all that blood on her.  Instead of getting mad, losing my mind and going murderous on everybody present, I was shocked beyond all reason.  Like, literally shocked.  And scared!  I finished the book without any breath left.  I stared at it, in awe of its genius story but horrified of all the things I will never be able to forget after reading it.  Nothing can be unread.  NOTHING.  Once again, Gillian Flynn shows her brilliance in narrative and story-making, and, of course, the unexpected, brilliant, jaw-dropping ending.

Gillian Flynn, you are simply brilliant.
