Lo leí hace un par de veranos, pero me gustó tanto que hoy en día lo sigo teniendo presente -también gracias a la película estrenada recientemente-. La historia me parece muy original, sorprendente y te demuestra que no puedes dar las cosas por sentado. En su momento el final no me gustó y creí que estropeaba el libro, pero ahora mirándolo con perspectiva creo que es el mejor final que le podría haber dado, culminando así un libro muy muy bueno. 100% recomendable.

Can't fault its construction, but didn't love it. Too overtly manipulative for my tastes.

this is definitely a book that i will be thinking about for a while. nick sucked. amy was fs some type of sociopath. the twists and turns this book takes you are on are genuinely wild and it made me quite uncomfortable at some points. the book is slow to start but the build-up is insane.

I loved this book! I needed some time to get into it, but then all the mindblowing stuff happened. People not being who you think they are. There were really some amazing twists that had me completely surprised and amazed. I don't know what I can say without ruining the book for others. I feel like I get to a spoiler very easy.
:D

This was my first Gillian Flynn book, and I have to say I did really enjoy it. The story was gripping, even after the twist in the middle. You sort-of expected the twist, but not the reason behind the twist... But that will make more sense if you read the book! It was difficult to pick a new book to read once I'd finished this one, as I felt so involved with the story of Amy and Nick.
I do agree with some of the more negative reviews, insofar as the language used was a bit OTT in parts, and I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the ending, but more so because I wanted the story to carry on, rather than the ending itself being bad... Again, that would become clearer upon reading the book yourself!
I'm really not sure what else to say, which is frustrating as this book had me thinking about it and the characters for days and days afterwards, indicating that it was obviously very good, but I can't really put in to words why it kept me so hooked. There was a degree of suspense, there was most certainly plenty of mystery and drama, and the characters were very real to me also. (although this may have been helped by the fact that the film was due to come out and I had pictures in my head of Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike).
