Chronicle As Books Dark Rooms

The Secret History meets Sharp Objects in this stunning debut about murder and glamour set in the ambiguous and claustrophobic world of an exclusive New England prep school. Death sets the plot in motion: the murder of Nica Baker, beautiful, wild, enigmatic, and only sixteen. The crime is solved, and quickly—a lonely classmate, unrequited love, a suicide note confession—but memory and instinct won’t allow Nica’s older sister, Grace, to accept the case as closed. Dropping out of college and living at home, working at the moneyed and progressive private high school in Hartford, Connecticut, from which she recently graduated, Grace becomes increasingly obsessed with identifying and punishing the real killer. Compulsively readable, Lili Anolik’s debut novel combines the verbal dexterity of Marisha Pessl’s Special Topic in Calamity Physics and the haunting atmospherics and hairpin plot twists of Megan Abbott’s Dare Me.

Appraise Epithetical Books Dark Rooms

If 2015, so far, has been the year I've started being more selective about psychological thrillers (post- Girl on the Train disappointment) and discovered that I seem to like all the films everyone hates and feel ambivalent towards all the films everyone loves, it might also become the year I finally abandon my persisting affection for any story that resembles, or is compared to, my favourite book, The Secret History. The latest disappointment in what's becoming a very long and uneven line of

I feel like this book should not have been published. This was at best a first draft, I don't know how all of these fragments and typos escaped the editor. The toed the line between fantasy land and reality the entire book. Not to mention this whole book made me sort of uncomfortable. Grace had an unhealthy obsession with her sister to the point of Bates Motel incest. The only reason I completed this book was because I wanted to see how the author tied up loose ends. So the entire time the

Haunting, poetic and addictive, despite the teenagers who act like they're 25 rather than 16 (I don't even know if I can say that, considering I'm 25 and I'm nowhere near as deep or "mature" as the sisters in Dark Rooms) and the convenient clue-finding that crops up in almost every one of these types of novels. The privileged prep school murder story has been done to death, but I don't think I'll ever really get tired of it. And this one does bring some fresh aspects to the table - the

As the ending of Dark Rooms drew near, I could almost hear the voice of George Benson, but with the lyrics just a wee bit altered:Let me haunt you one more timeHold me closer, now you're mineLady, haunt me one last timeLady, haunt meHo, haunt me, lady.Indeed Nica Baker is the most haunting schoolgirl character Ive encountered since Megan Abbotts Beth Cassidy, but while it takes us a while to find out that Beth is ill-fated, Nica is dead, suddenly & violently, @ the very beginning of this

unlike The Secret History, this book has some problems. i was prepared for it, since so many of the reviews on here have been thumbs-down; people expecting a donna tartt or a gillian flynn and getting something altogether different. and i can't say i hated it - it's a very fast read, and it was a fine summer diversion, but it takes some frustrating shortcuts down build-the-suspense road.nica baker is sixteen when she is murdered on the grounds of chandler academy, a prep school in hartford,

"The Secret History" meets "Sharp Objects"? Not so much. The premise of this book was great. But the writing was awkward, the flow of the story jumpy. The people were bizarrely one dimensional, even the motivations of the main character felt wooden. The descriptions were off, too. For example, there were constantly descriptions of photographs taken from behind one of the characters - photos of her back - but then it would go on to describe her facial expression in detail. Small thing but it

Did you hate how clever and charming and well written Veronica Mars was?Did you find Bella Swan to be too nuanced and well-written a first person narrator?Is your favorite episode of Law and Order: SVU the Season 5, episode 15 "Families"? (this would be a spoiler)Do you love Mary Sue narrators?Then you will love this pop culture pastiche masquerading as a noir with no stakes and the weakest rape apology I've ever read in my life.
