Gone Girl by Gillian FlynnMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Did you ever read a book that gave you more than you bargained for i.e. interesting syntax, nice, fast-paced plot, well-thought-out three-dimensional characters, but that left you shaking your head on the final page - mouth gaping - whining "nonononono?"
Flynn could have ended the action on a "thriller- chiller" note, leaving the reader with goose flesh and shivers. Or a little flippancy may have saved the day as the reader closed the book chuckling and nodding with a new appreciation for having enjoyed a perceived dark comedy. Also, one last clue (I saw three possibilities) could have come to light leaving us with that Christie-mystery feel.
Please enjoy Gone Girl regardless of my ideas and opinions. It was the best of the summer beach books. A notch above the rest! You will find yourself carrying it in your purse or brief case and sneaking peeks whenever possible. That's always the sign of a good read.
