barelylivingdeadgirl 's review for:

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
3.5
emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

When I finally got into it, the plot was interesting enough to have me reading pretty quickly. I liked the focus on the characters over the plot, which is unusual in thriller books. The plot was clever and the twists were alright, but not as good as I hoped. I was underwhelmed after seeing the rave reviews, but I understand why people like it. I just didn't love it. I think it could have been much shorter as well.
