Kill Your Friends

Product Information

This book is filled with entertaining mind games, surprise, interesting twists you mostly never see them come and hit you in your face so hard! This is wild, wild ride, my friends! Overall, I found How to Kill Your Best Friend disappointing. The very slow pace and unlikable characters kept me from ever getting that invested in the story. I wish there had been more time spent exploring Lissa’s past and her relationships instead of just one or two stories and vague references to her unstable behavior. The only reason I’m giving this two stars instead of one is because it did manage to surprise me once at the end. Stelfox is probably one of the most despicable characters you'll ever read. And because you're in his head, you get the full-throttle experience -- and that can be intense. Stelfox hates everybody, is chronically sexist, racist and every other negative -ist in the dictionary. And to top it off is no good at his job and kinda hates music in general. Shame he's an overpaid music exec. Wiseman, Andreas (16 July 2018). "Beanie Feldstein Comedy 'How To Build A Girl' Adds Cast, Lionsgate With Shoot Under Way". Deadline Hollywood .

Kill Your Friends: an addictive psychological crime How To Kill Your Friends: an addictive psychological crime

There are many side stories going on which carries you through with each character’s view. Each character has something of their own to hide, so the atmosphere becomes sketchy when someone is watching them and leaving a trail of threatening notes. With another tragedy to contend to and near misses, it begins appealing to fear. With these toxic friends, walking through memories and scare tactics, you will not be disappointed with the ending. The language is crude, debauched, snide & totally politically incorrect. It's certainly NOT for the feint hearted- and honestly I can understand that. It really is below the belt in a lot of ways & I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to books & movies. (Yet, apparently not so much as I thought, because I must be the only the person in the world who found Bad Santa really distasteful.) This is a good example on why you shouldn’t decide to read a book based on the title alone. I thought this would be fun and mysterious, but it was incredibly slow paced and a bit of a chore to get through.An intricate, twisting story…a suspicious death is only one of the secrets among a group of old friends on an isolated island.”– Shelf Awareness

Kill Your Friends by John Niven | Waterstones

The story is told through narrators Georgie and Bron, who bring different perspectives and knowledge that gives readers a better idea of what has been happening and why. Georgie is an executive who had distanced herself from the group by moving to New York and avoiding social gatherings with the ot I LOVED the different methods of killing your best friend put in there between chapters (not that I’ll ever use them,) and I thought that was a really creative idea and the way it connects with the events in the chapter before or after it was really clever as well. Also finding out who was writing it and why they were doing so adds to the mysteriousness of everything. But, if you enjoy a mystery that unravels itself, a bit at a time, revealing a bit more with each METHOD of murder...than this one Is for you! Each chapter begins with the clever musings of an undisclosed narrator-on how you MIGHT be able to murder your best friend.. Book Genre: Comedy, Contemporary, Crime, Fiction, Humor, Literature, Modern, Music, Mystery, Novels, ThrillerI generally enjoy competition tropes, or tropes where characters are members of a team or club. This definitely had that dynamic, even though the women are well past school age. There's still something about the interactions of people that compete, or train together, that I find so relatable. Friends' is reputedly an assault on the music industry and all in it - the macheavelian existence of the likes of Stelfox, where absolutely nothing is off limits and there is a reasonably good book here fighting to get out of this morass - but compared to Niven's subsequent and superior novel 'The Amateurs', 'Friends' does not stand up. If you suspected your best friend, the person you were closest to in the whole world, was a murderer, what would you do? Would you confront her? Would you help keep her secret? Or would you begin to feel afraid? Most importantly, why don't you feel safe now that she's dead? From the author of The French Girl comes a novel full of secrets, suspense, and deadly twists. There were a lot of conversations with this group of friends that were swimming legends in college. They are gathering for a memorial to honor one of their friends that supposedly drowned. Lissa was an excellent swimmer so some found it almost impossible to believe she had drowned, but rumors abound about a possible murder or suicide.

John Niven (born 1966) is a Scottish author and screenwriter. His books include Kill Your Friends, The Amateurs, and The Second Coming. I was literally suspecting everyone in the beginning because I had no idea what to believe and who to trust. Although as the story progresses, I wasn’t sure what I was suspecting them of. Nine out of ten signed bands disappear without a trace. And yet, every now and again a record strikes a chord, a band slowly builds a following - and suddenly the money is coming in hand over fist. The A&R men are all competing to find the next big solo artist or band, and are willing to do just about anything to secure them. The problem is, no-one really has much of a clue as to what will constitute a hit single or successful band Bronwyn is out of sorts as well, but for different reasons. She's receiving threatening messages, she's distracted, constantly looking over her shoulder, but why? The story is more a collection of thoughts/experiences as he goes through copious drugs/booze/sex trying to unearth the next big thing. Along the way, he has a couple of goes at killing one of his work rivals - the first time is hilarious and then gets a young policeman involved in the investigation (who just happens to be a musician) involvded in the cover up and 2nd subsequent murder.

Success!

So, yeah it’s pretty disturbing, but I’ve got to respect the writing here. The point of the book is obviously to make the reader realize how messed up and nasty the entertainment industry is, and it accomplishes that brilliantly by forcing you to internalize the disturbing aspects of the story.Toxic friendships, lies, deaths (and almost-deaths,) this book has it all to keep you on the edge of your seat. As someone who makes their living from anticipating, from shaping, the tastes of millions of tasteless morons, you have to tell yourself that the things you feel are universal, that the things you think and feel are thought and felt by millions of other people.” This is my second time reading Lexi Elliott (first time was The French Girl, also a mystery involving a group of friends), and I enjoyed the characters and plot of this book so much more.
