Gone
Girl, by Gillian Flynn, is probably the most thrilling book I have ever read. I
can usually predict pretty accurately how a book is going to end once I am at
least a little more then half-way through, but Gone Girl has so many twist and
turns I never would have guessed it was going to end the way it did. Gone Girl
is a true page-turner; there were a few nights I stayed up till 1:00am because I
could not put this book down. I seriously can’t believe that Gone Girl was
published in 2012 and I just read it last week.
Amy, the
girl who is loved by everyone, and Nick, the all-American guy, are writers who
unfortunately both lost their jobs around the same time. Taking into
consideration that Amy and Nick are without jobs and are running out of money
they decide to move to North Carthage, Missouri, Nicks’ hometown, to take care
of Nick’s sick mother and his father who has atomizers. Nick decides to open up
a bar with his sister as his partner using the money Amy has left in her trust
fund and the responsibility to take care of Nick’s parents falls on Amy. Amy
and Nick’s marriage has been in a downward spiral since the moves and things
start to go terribly wrong.
On the
day of Amy and Nick’s fifth wedding anniversary Nick receives a call from his neighbor
saying that the front door to their house is wide open. Nick hurries home to
discover that his wife is missing. Evidence quickly points toward Nick and he
soon becomes the prim suspect. Amy’s disappearance is fast to gain media
attention due to the fact that she is the inspiration for the children’s series
her parents wrote, Amazing Amy. Nick’s odd behavior, small lies, Amy’s diary
the police have discovered, the lost support of his in-laws, and all the
evidence mounting against him does not play well in his favor, but he stands by
his innocence with his twin sister at his side. With Nick standing by his
innocence the question is where is Amy and what happened.
Gilliam
Flynn delivers one of the best thrillers I have ever read. The whit, great
writing, and all the twist and turns will keep you up reading this page-turner
of a book.

ReplyDeleteYou would love this book!
DeleteI really enjoyed this book and I'm excited to go see the movie next week. You should definitely read her other two books "Sharp Objects" and "Dark Places" because I liked them even more than Gone Girl.
