Wow. And I thought Steven King was twisted. There is almost no way to review Gone Girl without spoilers, but I will say this book redefined the concept of "contrived" for me.

Flynn is a masterful storyteller including but not limited to the twisted plot. I loved how the book started with Nick in the present then shifted to Amy’s diary then finally let us hear Amy catching up to the present. The only part where it got tricky was when they both were in the pr ...more

A good beach read. I liked the plot twists for the first 2/3 of the novel but the ending was a little too much of a belief suspension for me. Still, it's one where I keep returning the clues and think them over, and I would definitely recommend it for a good escape! ...more
