This took a while because it is kind of hard to grasp when you have little girls around you. I started this having just seen Stranger Things and I thought disappearing and dealing with a Demigorg monster was better than disappearing and dying that kind of death. Murder.
Gillian Flynn really has that dark mind that makes you not want to mess with her. Her characters had always been crazy twisted. Expect her to leave you damaged in a way when you finish her work. This wasn't even horror and I was scared someone might sneak into my back and take me with.
Having known of Munchausen by Proxy weeks before,– after reading that extremely long article made me see the symptoms quickly– immediately I thought that that might be the thing going on here. MBP is a serious condition and is absolutely true as what the article has elaborately declares however in this work of fiction, it gives readers a glimpse of how things goes from a third person perspective in the eyes of Camille Preaker.
This is Gillian Flynn's first book and I have read all others and this I think is her best one. What a wonderful story teller. She got me wrapped around her finger and pulled me into this amazing experience. She's never afraid to write about your secrets, the ones you have kept behind the farthest of your brain where no one would know, secrets so deep just thinking about it made your skin ramble and then you try bury it again but now it wouldn't let you go and it devours you–
And so as the books nears its end, and just when you have a conclusion, just when things are settling down into place, when you thought it has ended, a flicker. A switch turned on. A sudden realization. Quick but lingers. Like vertigo. It comes. And that's when your eyes sparkle and think. Gad. This is one amazing book.
