Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Pages: 343
Reading Days: 30 days. I started the book twice. I stopped reading because I was too scared to keep reading at night.
Sassy Summary: Can Gillian Flynn read thoughts? For as long as I can remember I have had a recurring nightmare where my family is murdered in my parent’s farmhouse while I’m hiding under my bed. “Dark Places” is a thriller based on that fear. It’s eerie. I refused to read it at night. If I was alone, I would sleep with the lights on, just like the main character, Libby Day. I haven’t been this scared since reading Stephen King in high school. I’m returning it to the library today. I don’t want that book in my house anymore.
Quotable Writing: “I’d woken up from a miserable dream, the kind you keep telling yourself doesn’t mean anything, shouldn't bother you because it’s just a dream, just a dream.”
Cheetah or Snail? Not as fast paced as I expected from Flynn. First half is slow moving.
Buy or Borrow? Borrow. After you’ve read “Gone Girl” and “Sharp Objects.”
Book Club Discussion Generator? Definitely.
Who should read it? Stephen King fans
