The Fury by Alex Michaelides

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.75

This book was slower paced than any of Michaelides other books, and for that it got bunked down to a 2.75 rating. I thought the plot twists were decent
like when Elliot tells the reader that none of what he just told us was true, and tells us what ACTUALLY happened. But then it happened again, and again, and I honestly don’t know what to think! Is Lana alive or dead? Did Elliot kill her?! Was he ACTAULLY beat up and found out that he was trying to get Jason killed just to be romantically involved with Lana??!! Did he push Barbara down the stairs and steal her story or did she just naturally die, and he stole the story?
Michaelides LOVES an unreliable narrator, but I liked this book the least.
