Loading... Gone Girl (edition 2012)by Gillian Flynn
Work detailsGone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This is a brilliantly written book. The female character, Amy, sets out to make it look as though her husband , Nick, has killed her. The book gives the story from both Amy and Nick's side. A fantastic read.

I didn't like this one as much. I think it is more of a 3.5 stars. I have to say I hated Nick and Amy, towards the end I hated Nick a little less than Amy. They were just awful people (Amy definitely). Amy has serious problems and that doesn't describe half of it. It's hard to believe what she did and all the planning it took. It wasn't a horrible book and I do love [a:Gillian Flynn|2383|Gillian Flynn|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1232123231p2/2383.jpg]'s writing. I took me a while to actually get into the book, unlike her previous books. (  ) JenniferLynn | May 13, 2013 |
 ...Gillian Flynn’s latest novel of psychological suspense will confound anyone trying to keep up with her quicksilver mind and diabolical rules of play. Not that there’s anything underhanded about her intentions: she promises to deliver an account of the troubled marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne, who alternate as narrators, and so she does. The trickery is in the devilish way she tells their story. Flynn writes bright, clever, cynical sentences. Maybe too many of them in Gone Girl. The same facts and ideas seem to repeat themselves. But that’s a minor gripe in a book that never slacks in tightening the suspense. The basic questions the mystery asks are these: did the journalist husband murder his well-to-do missing wife or is she setting him up to pay a creepy price? On Flynn’s slick way to reaching the answer, she pulls the rug from under us readers three times. Or was it four?

Detective and mystery stories. American fiction. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favours with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media-as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents-the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter-but is he really a killer?… (more)
