Final Girl Support Group is fun, but it made me wish it was written by a better author.
There's some really great ideas in there, and the cliff notes plot is really good, but the characters are one dimensional cardboard cut-outs of wet toilet paper.

This book ruined my vacation, I couldn't put it down to enjoy the sights.
I bought this as a “beach read” but I would have read this masterpiece any time, any place. Please for the love of all that is holy, this needs to be a movie.

As this story is told from Alice's perspective, I expected to see some new insights into Alice's past or reasons for some of her actions, but unfortunately this book adds nothing new.

If you've already read the books (and you probably won't be looking at this unless you have), there's nothing new here aside from artistic changes in character appearances.

It was an enjoyable read, and made me itch to re-read the books (or catch up on the TV series), but ultimately this is simply a rehash of events we already know.

Although the eponymous essay resonates with a certain valedictorian profundity, the rest of the book felt tacked on, almost as if the author was writing to meet a deadline, and wasn't given enough time to really solidify the ideas she was trying to establish. Which makes obvious sense, as this book was cobbled together from rambling essays and half-realized stories which were gathered up after her death. I am confident that if Marina hadn't died when she did, these stories could have been refined into something truly brilliant. On the other hand, one could argue that without an early death, these stories would have never reached us at all. But would that have been so bad?

Haven't finished it yet, but so far unimpressed.

I'm confused why everyone seems to love this book so much.
Aside from he plot tangling around itself, and the characters constantly quipping back and forth to each other in over the top sitcom manner, it's practically impossible to tell the characters apart without attribution. Early in the first chapter there's a long exchange between two characters of different genders, and even with that difference it was still extremely difficult to tell them apart. The dialogue is stiflingly bland and the humor falls flat more often than it succeeds.

I think that I would have enjoyed this book, as the humor and style is something that I would normally like very much, if the characters had a bit of variety to them.
