I'd been told it was a psychological thriller. Aware there'd been a movie yet unaware of the genre or content, only that it was a best-seller, I picked it up. A not so perfect husband is accused of murdering his too perfect wife, or did she murder herself? or did she murder his 'self,' or had he murdered hers? The true crime suspense novel is full of intelligent riddles and just plain smart writing. I felt it started a little slow, and dragged in a spot or two, but when it picked up, it had me laughing, angry and anxious, frantic to get to the next page and find where the hell Flynn was taking us with this trip. I give this novel 5-stars, dispite my utter infuriation with its twists and twistednesses. Definitely an intellectual mind-F that deserved to be movie-fied. I will be reading more Flynn. |
