For a book that's nearly 500 pages, it reads so quickly and fast paced. So much exposition and character development despite there being so many characters (the only downside to the book). Can't wait to watch the TV adaptation

I love this book. It's suspenseful without being scary, and it really examines the complexity of relationships. I also very much enjoyed the narration.

Loved this! It took a while for me to get into it because there are soooo many characters, but once I did I was hooked. I thought Moriarty did a great job handling sensitive subjects and complex feelings, and while I suspected something similar to the incident, I was still very surprised. I really want to watch the HBO show now because of the cat!

I was expecting something a bit more. It has not trumped the show. Could be because I know what will happen and that’s why I find it lacking. There are no usual pet peeves of mine - the characters are well developed, the dialogue is ok. Maybe I could do without the transcripts of the interviews after the fact. However, what makes this book good is that the writers of the TV series could’ve taken it all, and almost copy paste it to create something quite brilliant.
