Just finished this last night and I loved it. I thought the alternating first person perspectives from chapter to chapter was an interesting way to tell this story. Also I thought Flynn did a great job creating some complex psychopaths in this novel.

Who else has read this? Thoughts?

Also saw where the movie is already in the works for 2015. Ben Affleck to play Nick.

I have it said to my list to read on Overdrive, but haven't gotten to it yet. I've heard good things though.

I really liked the book. I thought it was well written and dug the alternating unreliable narrators. Wasn't crazy about the very end of the book though. I have liked all of her books.

Tigerstorm, what's another of her books you would recommend? And are they all the same genre?

Forever, I can see someone being pissed at the end but I though it went to show the absurd lengths that Amy was willing to go to "beat" Nick in the end.

I'll be starting this book soon. Not sure I can handle another chapter of Lords of Discipline.

ETA - aww, someone deactivated my picture :(
