A review by menniemenace
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
4.0
This book is as good as TV show. It's funny, smart, and magnetic. Madeline is amazing, Ed and Chloe are much funnier -even though Ed is bald- and Bonnie has an actual character.
I don't really know where I stand from " A murder happens in the first chapter but we'll never speak of it again" thing, even though I'v had my fair share of it. One of the books I'm currently reading has the same theme, only with a bigger number of victims. I watched a very good Turkish series with that same theme but for some reason I stopped watching at some point. It's interesting to try and guess who died and how, but I can't say for sure it's better than knowing what actually happened.
The part about Abigail bidding her virginity is so shocking, and it's a surprise because it wasn't in the series. It was such an odd way to take action, and the only moral I was 100% sure of was that "the world is a very scary place" as the Gothic Archies say.
I love Tom, by the way. I love him almost as I love Ed. He's adorable.
The Audio narrator has such a Marie Antionette-ish accent, it took my some time to process the fact that the book is Australian and not American, but after that I was delighted by the audio book. Great work, thank you Caroline Lee!
