Whole lot of crazy and not enough Rock N Roll…. I really did not know what to expect going into this book. I am still reeling from this book 24 hours later. All I can say is WOW! Craaazzzy!
Gone Girl is a great read, an emotional rollercoaster featuring 1 1/2” whackos" (Nick only half crazy to me) who marrying each other. Nick is a magazine writer from Missouri who feels guilty for his charming good looks. Amy is also a writer, a beautiful blonde, and the daughter of two psychologists.

Overall this book was suspenseful and thrilling, but not until about half way through was was a little frustrating for me. I didn’t feel like the ending lived up to the hype of the book. For me it was anticlimactic…I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so I’ll just leave it at that.

However, I just thought it was going to be this wonderful whodunit thriller and it kind of let me down.

Did she write the ending so she could have a sequel?

This was one of those books that I could not put down! Read it in a couple days. It is a total roller coaster. One second, you feel sorry for one of the characters, and hate them in the next. I was blown away from this story! This is a must read, in my opinion. Great book!

This book was completely insane. I loved it!
Couldn't decide which character was crazier or even which ending I wanted for the story. But I really enjoyed reading it.
