review 1: One of the most ingeniously plotted thrillers I have read in a long time. No male author could have pulled this off, shifting back and forth to show the different male and female viewpoints. When Part 2 kicks off - no spoilers here - it is a surprising plot twist which does shake your confidence in these characters, but as a wry and dark comment on marriages, especially the dysfunctional variety, this is one of the darkest portrayals I've ever read. Flynn's talent for crafting some poignant images, like love as the "sweetest cancer" will stay with readers I'm sure.
review 2: I didn't finish the book. Maybe something is lost when you are actually reading the book versus listening to it, and I tried the audio version. It drug on and on, again could be a problem w... moreith audio taking longer to listen to than it would be to read. More so however, I couldn't take one more litany of cursing. I visited a spoiler page just to find out the ending and it still didn't intrigue me. Couldn't recommend this book. less
