Warning: This is an independent addition to Gone Girl, meant to enhance your experience of the original book. If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. INTRODUCTIONGone Girl by Gillian Flynn is more than a simple thriller novel. This complicated tale of intricate twists, turns, and deceptions is mystery, crime drama, and psychological thriller all at once. The story of the disappearance of Amy Elliott Dunne unfolds in chapters that focus on Nick Dunne's perspective, interspersed with diary entries written by Amy Elliott Dunne that provide background and insight for the reader. Flynn takes the reader on an exciting ride through Nick and Amy's separate realities and keeps us guessing until the very end.SETTINGSThe events of the novel's primary storyline take place in and around North Carthage, MO, beginning in July of 2012. Amy's diary entries provide the reader with background and are set in New York City and North Carthage beginning in January of 2005.STORY PLOT ANALYSISThe plot is centered on the mysterious disappearance of Amy Elliot Dunne. Events of this plot line are told early in the novel with a focus early in the novel on Nick Dunne's perspective and actions. Later in the novel, Amy Elliott Dunne's perspective and actions are added. A great deal of tension is created as the reader attempts to determine which perspective - Nick's or Amy's - is the real one. Or are they both false?Available on PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device. (c) 2015 All Rights Reserved No library descriptions found. |
