not for me

whoa. no.

I read this partly out of boredom (it was available from the library) and the feeling maybe the plot would be more laid out in the book than the HBO show. I liked Gone Girl and I think I quit about halfway thru the other one about the sister in support groups whose brother was a killer or something. I didn't stick with it long enough to get the plot. This was a well-written book. It unfolded in a pleasing way but it didn't show more than the show. I thought we'd explore the killer's mind more, or get the killer's perspective or their input. The killer doesn't have a voice in the story. You see it through Camille's eyes and the murders are just flipped through quickly, as they are in the show. That said, I think I prefer the book to the show.

What a great story! I loved the dialogue, the characters and the idea that a woman can love more than one man in her lifetime.

I liked the cover art of the version I had and also (surprisingly) enjoyed reading the publication history of how the publishing rights were acquired and redistributed.

I would read more of Hurston's work.

What a great story! I love reading about different cultures. Too bad the movie didn't live up to the hype. The book was great.

3.5. I felt like this book was useful and helped me.
