Wish I had read the book before seeing the movie!

Overall a good book. However, it took me a few attempts to get into it. But once I finally I got to the good part, I couldn't put it down.

Gone Girl drains and drags you along with the relationship and simply stuns with the genius of the plot. The characters are crafted with such meticulous care, I was captivated by the complexity. Still, the ending left me deeply unsatisfied and I believe this to be a rare instance where the film adaptation upstages the book.

One word...AMAZING. Gillian Flynn is a fantastic author who captivates her readers. This book has so many twists and turns that I left me hoping for another.

Holy molly, this book is surprisingly good. To be honest I decided to read this book because of all the fuss i kept hearing about this book, not to mention, its reputation for staying in New York Times bestselling for a quite long time. But I guess this book deserves it. Good job, Gillian Flynn. I'm going to see the movie next week.

Wow. I already knew the premise of this book but I was still so surprised by everything and was doubting what I knew. I had no idea how it was going to end and couldn't put it down. The characters are so intense and raw and just captivating.
