The writing itself was super vivid, and the characters' voices were super strong. Glad I decided to finish.

Kirja oli silti todella uniikki ja tykkäsin kerronta tavasta paljon. Sekä Nick että Amy ovat inhottavia ja vihattavia hahmoja, mikä oli ihanaa vaihtelua muista kirjoista jota olen lukenut.

1. i'm a mood reader who got in a few reading slumps in the meantime and i find it hard to pick up a book again when i bc of random circumstances couldn't or didn't continue reading lately and i struggle with motivating myself to read longer books (over 300 pages). this is due to my personality.
2. i had already seen the movie and loved it but this also meant i knew the plot roughly so i didn't expect any twists or surprising factors, which of course took away a little motivation.
having said this, this is one of the most well-written books i've read. me having seen the movie and knowing what would happen was why i didn't have as much an urge to read it and find out (as i already knew everything), but if i hadn't known anything i would've finished it in a rather short amount of time i'm sure! it still managed to be enticing and suspenseful just because of how interesting its style was. the storyline is brutal and genius and morally challenging and in a way i'm happy i already knew what was awaiting bc of the film. i would recommend to read the book and the watch the movie or if you've seen the movie to still give the book a chance because owning this story on paper felt so special. if you considered reading it but think you don't have to because you know what happens, i would still say give it a try as gillian flynn's way with words totally made up for my prior knowledge. gonna rewatch the movie now because what the fuck (( almost all of the trigger warnings, please be careful with this and kind to yourself ))
