I couldn't stand the injustice, so I ditched the book.

I read another book by Gillian Flynn calling Dark Places and although the author is a great writer in the technical perspective, that book was so dark and so disturbing I'm actually afraid to read anything else by her.

Loverockers. I can even deal with anything of injustice. I don't blame you, I would have ditched the book also.

Imoses. I haven't read the Divergent series, yet.
What made me angry in the Twilight series is how bossy and seemingly controlling Edward was to Bella. I was angry at Stephanie Meyers for teaching young girls that controlling was protecting. It's a fine line to walk on for a guy, but I thought girls should be taught to recognize the difference, and not have it romanticize.

Thanks for the heads up. I won't add that one to my reading list either.DeliriumReader wrote:Shelle. I watched the movie Gone Girl before I even knew there was a book. I have a hard time believing people like that exist. I am sure they do exist, but, to me, it's not feasible.

The main character is supposed to be viewed as a devoted lover but instead he comes off as a selfish, crazy man. Also women are not exactly depicted in a good light in this book, which is very disappointing because I heard a lot of good things about this book so I was expecting something totally different.
I would have to agree with you. Overall, I enjoyed the book but the ending was frustrating. I think the portrayal of women, though, was typical of the period the story was written about. That doesn't make it right but probably more accurate.
