I don't like this book and yet I'm giving it four stars because I couldn't stop reading the dratted thing. The whole tale is a glorious mindfuck and leaves you feeling shaky and strange and wondering why anyone would EVER marry anyone else. Not to mention you'll be giving your significant other some rather shifty looks.
What can I say other than that? The story of a woman who goes missing, of the messed up man who's married her and done a crappy job as husband that you want to hate...until you fi ...more

I have a lot of thoughts about this, but nothing I can really wrap together to make sense of.
Was it a good story? Yes.

It took a minute to draw me in, but once it did - I was pretty much done. It was like watching a car crash, you know you shouldn't be curious, but you can't look away. That's pretty much how I felt for 95% of this story. I couldn't stop listening, but I didn't know why.

I would have give this 5 stars because the plot was twisted and disturbing, but 90% of the profanity was absolutely unnecessary and actually detracted from the great writing. Although I enjoyed this book, I probably won't read another one by this author simply because the profanity was so over-the-top.

I like books that are different, and this book is definitely different than any other book I've ever read. There's a rather big twist that I did not see coming, and even though this book is pretty dark (which is not always my thing), I loved it.
I also really love Gillian Flynn's writing style - she might be one of my favorite authors when it comes to style alone, based on the two books that I've read.
