skconaghan 's review for:

The Fury by Alex Michaelides
3.0
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not quite the fury one is expecting. 
 
Relies too much on tropes and stereotypes to build a convincing plot. 
 
Hmm. Interesting twist, but who didn’t see that coming 🙄 ...? 
 
‘Unreliable narrator’ is putting it lightly and you want to feel some affinity with the storyteller at some point—this one is a self-centred, untrustworthy liar—and you sense that very well from the start; where we’re asked to pity him, we feel disgust; where we’re asked to relate, we feel nauseated. 
 
By the end of this fiasco, though the twists were 'hmm. interesting', you’re sure glad this one is over.
