The Review: Famous Last Words
Hello Book friends!
Welcome back to my book blog, today I’m reviewing Gillian McAllister’s Famous Last Words.
Another hit from Gillian McAllister. At the very start of the novel McAllister creates a juggernaut of a story, opening with a wife returning to work from maternity leave, after dropping off her baby at nursery school, her husband has taken on hostages.
With mind blowing twits and turns (when I found out who one of the POV’s from certain chapters were, I instantly needed to reread the book), I completely forgot McAllister’s signature writing style of not everything is as it seems. Jam packed with highlighted lines I want to hoard in my long term memory, I’m looking forward to what McAllister publishes next.
My favorite part of Famous Last Words is how McAllister continues to write stories that has a razor sharp focus on motherhood and all of its intricate complexities from conception to when the child is born and thriving.
A must read.
Happy Reading ~ Cece

Are Gillian Anderson and Charlie Hunnam in an adaptation of this novel? I’m confused..,
Hi, there hasn’t been any announcement of a movie adaptation of the novel. Gillian Anderson and Charlie Hunnam were my picks to play the characters if there was a movie.
