The End of Everything question

I enjoyed it. Slightly biased here though as I am a big fan.

Currently reading it. I've never read anything else by her (I see that's she's more into writing crime novels from 1920s) so I have nothing to compare with on that score. I am enjoying it but am only 23% through (reading on Kindle). Am interested to see where it goes. Haven't worked that out so far.

Loved this book, found it an interesting read and it really did challenge some of my personal views around the development of sexuality and the complexity of relationships from a different perspective. Well worth a read.

I thought it was absolutely tremendous. There's a real beauty in the style and a delicacy in the way the darkest of subjects are handled.

To me it has the lush quality of some of the finest authors in my experience and I'd recommend it heartily without any reservation at all.

I know that there is some polarity, so I'm sorry you're not enjoying it as much as I did Karen. Stick with it though (even if the tempo and the tale remain fairly consistent throughout).

I've read this and liked the book!

This book is fantastic and such a surprise as I was in a total rush at the library and grabbed it pretty much at random from the shelf.

I agree with Nigel about the delicate handling of dark matters. Girls competing for their father's attention, the need and confusion that propels one of them into a horrible fate, the slow piecing together of clues, and not several sickening surprises waiting at the end.

I posted a review of it on this website you can check out if interested.

I read it. I honestly cannot say that I Loved it, but it kept me enthralled. It was, at times, hard to follow ; I found myself re-reading parts but I managed to hang in there and I can honestly say it was worth reading.

I enjoyed this novel for many of the same reasons expressed above.

It's very well written, quite intense and very suspenseful.

Ordinarily I wouldn't have been interested in the subject matter covered but I'm another huge Megan Abbott fan.
I can't help it.
She's among the best of the current crime thriller/noir novelists and I'll buy any thing she writes.

I loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat because there was always room for speculation. Waiting for more of her books to be on Kindle.

I have just finished it and have never read anything by her before, but will definitely check out more of her work. While the subject matter was disturbing....hey that reflects the world we live in. The prose was stunning, a love of language strongly evident, more like poetry in its use of nouns as verbs and vice versa, and I loved luxuriating in her sentences. The narrative..not surprising except for one minor twist....but the dark heart of the world we exist in should not surprise any but the most sheltered.
For me it actually helped me see, even remember, where what should be unthinkable actually can arise through ignorant complicity and manipulation of very primitive urges. I had forgotten the angst sand dark passions of early adolescence, though was a bit mystified by the proposal by some
( obviously younger) readers that naïveté was explained by being set in the dark ages of the 80's!!!! I teach kids still and there are still plenty of wildly intelligent utterly emotionally unaware 13 yr olds out there in this information mad era!
