I kept reading as quickly as I could to see what was going to happen... but the end was a real let down for me. For me the end was kind of left "up in the air" for the main characters without a clear resolution. Either that, or the writer has left it open ended for a sequel? Amazing...TWO thumbs up Don't know what y'all are talking about, but it's a perfectly passable mystery. Nothing super interesting so far, but still good. UPDATE: still not as good as the hype, but slowly getting more interesting. I am intrigued to see where Flynn will go with the Angie subplot. UPDATE: Book went from 3 stars to 5 in a *heartbeat* with the beginning of Part 2.
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? This American author shook up the thriller scene in 2007 with her debut Sharp Objects, nasty and utterly memorable. Gone Girl, her third novel, is even better – an early contender for thriller of the year and an absolute must read. Is contained inHas the adaptationIs parodied inHas as a student's study guide
On the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife Amy suddenly disappears. The police immediately suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone. So what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? No library descriptions found.
