A review by fabacious
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

3.0

The story started light and happy enough. Amy, a beautiful thirty-something single woman who after a string of bad relationships finally meets Mr. Right. They fall in love, marry and live in marital bliss for the first couple of years. Then things start to go downhill and on their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy disappears. The story then takes a dark, twisted and deranged turn and nothing and no one are as they seem. The book captivated me from the beginning and I was enthralled for most of it – I loved all the twists, turns and surprises. There were a few slow parts and like most reviewers I did not care for the ending. There are other parts of the book I didn’t like but cannot get into them without giving away spoilers. I must say though that at some point, it felt like I was watching a Lifetime movie, which I am not a fan of. While I enjoyed this book, my overall rating is 3.5 stars.
