Gillian Flynn: The Grownup

When I saw that there was another book by Gillian Flynn, even if it was a short story, I just had to read it! So I ran to my favorite bookstore and bought a copy of The Grownup.

From the first paragraph, since I don't usually read the back cover synopsis, it was obvious that there's yet another troubled character. And I was hooked!

It starts like this: 

“I didn't stop giving hand jobs because I wasn't good at it. I stopped giving hand jobs because I was the best at it!”

Gone Girl

If you've read my posts Sharp Objects and Dark Places, I'm sure you know how crazy I am about Gillian Flynn. Those two books, are the best books I've read lately, overcoming my love for Harry Hole too! Yes, yes, I shamelessly admit it. I love Flynn more than Nesbo.

And since I enjoyed her books so much, it was time to read Gone Girl!

Breathtaking: Dark Places

If it’s Gillian Flynn then I’m hooked!

Seriously give me everything she has ever written and I want to read it. I finished Dark Places and I’m more thrilled about her and her stories. If Sharp Objects blew my mind once, Dark Places splattered my brain all over the place.

And I still want more.

Sharp Objects

I promised I would blog about this book and how could I leave it aside? I mean … wow! This book is the first read that excites me so much after my beloved Harry Hole, by Jo Nesbo. This book is written by Gillian Flynn and, if I’m not mistaken, this was her debut novel. It’s a psychological thriller with a very interesting character and a more interesting plot. If you don’t have already added it to your TBR list. I say you do it soon!

So, join me to a spoiler free (as always) discussion about Sharp Objects. Awesome title, huh?
