I was excited to read this one but after reading your review I will be going in with some reservations. I knew some of the characters would be difficult to like but I didn't think they'd all be bad. :\ Kristin (Book Sniffers Anonymous)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11916755699616389906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-49585961905393531482015-09-11T15:58:54.881-06:002015-09-11T15:58:54.881-06:00Yeah, it's one of those books everyone is read...Yeah, it's one of those books everyone is reading.

Would have loved it more if there was a likable character or two.... even with the predictable ending.

Even though I knew there was a twist at the end, it still kept me guessing. I'm pretty gullible, so I'm almost always surprised by twist endings. Ha ha. While this one was pretty depressing, considering the subject matter and the unlikable characters, it still kept me totally enthralled. I liked it.

And I went back and forth as to whodunnit, until the clues were totally obvious. I don't know what to think about this one. It just left me feeling icky for the most part. It was more depressing than suspenseful for me which made me feel disappointed. I do wonder what everyone out there in the world loved about it so much.

I do like books that have you engrossed from the start, and this definitely sounds like one of those, but I am also a person who likes characters I can root for, so the fact that they're all pretty horrible makes it a bit more difficult for me. I think I might still give it a go, but it will probably be later in the year. Great review, thanks!Liz. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946301117581700393noreply@blogger.com
