Review of 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn

 Ohhhhh Mrs Flynn, you've done it again.

Once again, she's written another book that has some amazing twists that makes you question where the book will go next. Although the book was well written and thought out, I unfortunately found myself aggravated at the turns and twists of this one. Actually not so much plural as singular.

I found them all phenomenal except the last.

Sharp Objects and Dark Places both had a final twist that made me jump in my skin, leave my skin crawling and mind wandering, yet the ending of Gone Girl seriously just pissed me the hell off. Really?

Maybe Flynnster wanted to get away from her usual endings of shock from a character, and wanted that shock to be more of an anger from the fact that we'd want a different ending.


It was a great escape, and in a book that's all I really want, but I can't help but want a little bit more from the ending.

4/5 Stars

Review for 'The Way The Crow Flies' by Ann-Marie MacDonald

This is definitely an amazing book.

Having grown up in the military life style, MacDonald did a wonderful job of giving the reader a true feeling of the family structure and sense of the community within the military. It actually made me slightly nostalgic over the base I lived on during my elementary school years.

Personally, I really enjoyed the flow of the book. There was tension and fluidity in all the right places. Not too much or too little of either.

Lovely read, and definitely one I'll revisit later down the road.

4/5 Stars
