So this is actually the third book I read by Gillian Flynn and I think her other two ruined this one for me. Sharp Objects, and Gone Girlwere both such captivating stories that when I got around to this one I was rather bored. My expectations were higher than they should have been going into this.Before I get into the heart of my review I must comment that Gillian Flynn is a wonderful writer and her talents clearly show in this book. It is very well written and the characters are well developed, but when it came to the characters, I didn't like a single one of them. Her dark and disturbing style is clearly evident and I like that about her. I like the dark tone of her stories and when I pick up one of her books I have come to expect that. This book was just not my favorite.One of the reasons I didn't like this books was just that the characters are not likable. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and to be honest I didn't care to much about what happened to them in the end. I actually think I would have enjoyed this better if they all had been wiped out in the end. Again I think her other books, with characters that were interesting and a more in-depth, ruined this book for me. I kept comparing the other books, even thought I know I shouldn'tThe other issue I had with this story was the plot itself. There was a lot of potential to be one heck of a mystery while Libby tries to figure out who actually murdered her family. Half way through the book I was bored and not really interested in going further. Still I am stubborn and powered through this audio book. The ending was less thrilling because my interest had wandered and I just wanted it to be over. Still, I can see that Gillian Flynn is a great writer and I loved her other works. I look forward to her next book when ever that is and still think highly of her as an author, this was just one book I didn't enjoy. 

Question: How can I write something terrifying?
Answer: Her dark and disturbing style is clearly evident and I like that about her
