Horror's Greatest Hits
Medh asked this question about Apples Never Fall:
I am not a fan of books that make protagonists of "not nice" people. I hated Gone Girl. I didn't care for Savannah at all. Whatever justifications Joy found Savannah's actions were unconscionable. Most of us face disappointments and failures w/o setting out to destroy the lives of those who we think responsible. I felt Savannah didn't get her just desserts. Wonder if anyone else felt this way?

She was, like all the characters, both likable and awful at times. That's what three-dimensional people are. Moriarty's books are more nuanced that what one might call genre fiction and characters are conflicted. Also, I found the scene at the end, when Savannah visits her mother, to reveal a great deal about the depth of her depravity. (less)
