I really struggled to decide what I should rate this book. On the one hand, it is immensely well written and gripping. On the other hand, I hate stories where I don't root for anyone. In the beginning, Amy comes off as the sympathetic character and you really start to dislike Nick, feeling that he's...

So, Gone Girl. I don't even know if I know what to say. It kind of makes you cringe really hard when you think about all the not-guilty guys on death row* (and Nick would have been one of them,) and all the Killer-types running free. Did it bother you at all that Bleeker the cat wasn't mentioned a...

Wow. I started Gone Girl with no idea what to expect. Sure, I knew it was outrageously popular. But was it a mystery, or a thriller, or a romance, or a coming of age story? I had no idea. And the characters. Our narrators. I didn’t know what to expect, and I got it wrong. There’s no greater thrill...

I'm surprised by how much I'm not in love with this book. Gone Girl has failed to captivate me the way Flynn’s other two novels did.It took me days to read this book which is almost unheard of for me. (Especially with a Flynn novel). The first part of the book seems to drag on and on. I expected mor...

The original review I wrote about this book is not very complimentary and included a lot of swearing. I still feel like that, but I don't really want to be THAT reviewer, so I'll just say that this book started out with a lot of potential, then it bombed.

BLUF: Great story with a poor ending.The premise of this book is pretty simple. Wife goes missing. Husband didn't do it. Police think he did. It's an irresistible storyline.Which is why you will keep reading even after you realize that the husband is a dope, the wife is likeable but socially ridicul...

One word that sums up this book is 'disturbing'. Flynn takes the reader on an emotional ride full of twists and turns you won't see coming. I was guessing until the very end. I look forward to seeing if the movie is as dark as the novel.

I enjoyed the tortuous narrative and needle sharp portrayal of NY yuppie life. Most impressive was the characterization of Amy. You don't need a word from Nick, his sister or the police officers to know Amy. Her diary entries, from the glib, suspiciously breezy early entries, to the increasingly si...

I challenged myself to return to the dark mystery style of books I once read non-stop. I picked Gone Girl because I was lead to believe it fit the bill. Well it didn't and I worked hard to finish it. I'm going to stop talking because I was so WTF about the ending that I want my time back to read som...
