The Final Girl Support Group

As with every Grady Hendrix book that I have read, I always come in with preconceived notions that are immediately shattered. This book was not the exception. I did enjoy the book and I am sure that I enjoyed it more for a recent addiction to “The Last Drive In” with Joe Bob Briggs. We watched many of the referenced movies last fall and over the Christmas holidays, including the movie where a character is impaled on antlers. It was a fun conceit that the movie characters went on to live broken lives and that they actually had a ‘club’. I did sympathize with Lynette, but, like the other members of the support group, I had a hard time believing her - she seemed to go straight to “I’m positive THIS is the killer”, I understand that this was intentional, and it worked. I often thought she was a bit too reactionary. My favorite aspect of her character was her attachment to Fine (Final Plant) and the attributes she attached to him (Likes America's Funniest Home Videos) and when he stops speaking to her. Too funny. This is a good addition to the collection and I’m sure I will continue to read and recommend this author. It’s nice to know that a good title can still hook you into a whole new world of books. 4 out of 5 stars https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55829194-the-final-girl-support-group
