Review

An utterly gripping thriller (EMERALD STREET)

Gone Girl should be the big poolside read this year. Fresh out om paperback, it's a page-turning abduction mystery with an awful lot of twists. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

A tautly written thriller about the unravelling of a marriage that is deservedly topping the bestseller charts. (THE OBSERVER)

The story of a husband searching for his vanished wife has everything - psychological acuity, humour, an unflagging pace and more twists than you could hope for in your most serpentine dreams...a sumptuous, satisfying read. (STYLIST)

The story-telling is incredibly compelling, with the cunning opening mystery soon turning down unpredictable routes, while the characters are superbly believable. No wonder it's the book that everyone seems to be reading. (Boyd Hilton HEAT MAGAZINE)

If you haven't yet caught up with this word-of-mouth bestseller - about a woman's mysterious disappearance and the secrets she and her husband are keeping - get hold of it soon. It really does live up to the hype. (WOMAN MAGAZINE)

I'm currently reading Gone Girl, a brilliant novel about how we never quite know the people we fall in love with. It's one of those novels that you discuss endlessly with your closest friends. (Sharleen Spiteri, lead singer in Texas)

This thriller is the must-read of the year. (THE SUN)

(GONE GIRL) turned the rules of your average psychological thriller inside-out...it's breathtaking (THE TIMES)

Book Description

There are two sides to every story...This is THE US No. 1 bestselling novel that everyone is talking about... Includes Reading Group Notes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book of two halves that lingers in the mind 25 Nov 2012

By Georgiana89

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm not really into crime novels/mysteries, which this book generally seems to be billed as, so despite having heard a lot of hype, I wouldn't have bothered reading it were it not for one thing - a list of quotations from the book I found on Goodreads.

There were a couple of quotes , for example one about the dangers of being a cool girl and one about meeting someone who gets you, that really resonated with me and left me unable to resist giving the book a go. Added to this, several reviews mentioned that there was a big twist that they genuinely hadn't seen coming, and I can never resist a good, well-handled twist.

The first thing I'd say is that I'm glad I took a chance on the book. It was difficult to put down; I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next, and I think parts of it will stick in my mind for a long time. So in short, I'd definitely recommend.

It's hopefully not too spoiler-ish to say that the first half of the book is basically mediations on a relationship combined with a mystery: a woman has disappeared - where has she gone? The second half then becomes much more like a psychological crime thriller.

In the first half, there are two voices. Chapters alternate between Nick's (the husband) narration, starting with the day of his wife's disappearance, and Amy's (the wife) diary entries, dating back from the day the two first met years before, and gradually working up to a few days before her mysterious disappearance.

Browsing through some of the reviews on here, I was struck by how many people have commented that they found the first half hard going and a bit irritating, but loved the second half.

Interestingly, I almost entirely disagree. Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars Not deserving of the hype 24 Feb 2013

By K. Brooks

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I found Gone Girl an OK read on the plus side I liked the overall premise of a story being told from two perspectives and I didn't work out the whole plot immediately so it held some intrigue. But I found the style of writing to be a bit too glossy magazine for my taste and the characters rather 2 dimensional. Not only did I find them unbelievable but I found myself not really caring what happened to them the further I read on. I won't say I totally disliked the book but also found it undeserving of the rave reviews, in the end my overall feeling was of indifference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 3 May 2013

By Binny1957

Format:Kindle Edition

Having read all the plaudits for this book I thought it was a must read. Whilst I found the plot basically interesting I thought it was long winded and had a ridiculous ending - no I take that back, there was no ending. I was really disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing (seems a fitting title...) 17 Mar 2013

By JENNIFER CLARE HILES

Format:Kindle Edition

Recently, I have found it hard to trust the book charts (50'shades anyone...) but on this occasion I took a gamble and having read no reviews or summaries, I gave Gone Girl a chance. I completely, honestly urge everyone to do the same. This book is so well written, and covers so many unique character personalities that I kept having to remind myself that this was a work of fiction. The plot unravels so majestically that I genuinely couldn't put the novel down, and the shocks in the text were exactly like- unexpected, earth-shattering shocks. If great, modern, suspenseful literature is something you crave, then you NEED to read this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed 3 April 2013

By Bookworm

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I loved this book it kept me guessing and on edge all the way through and I couldn't wait for the outcome. But, unfortunately it is one of those books that leave you guessing. Sorry to spoil it for anyone but I was so disappointed by the ending I wanted to strangle the author :-(

5.0 out of 5 stars but not forgotten! 16 Oct 2012

By JK

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a brilliant, page-turning, un-put-downable thriller. Set in present day US, the plot concerns the disappearance and presumed murder of a young woman by her husband. The narrative takes the form of an interleaving of his present-day reaction to the news of his wife's disappearance with fragments from her diary, from their first meeting to present. The reader has his expectations overturned time and time again, as the author repeatedly manipulates his understanding of the facts and his emotional reaction to them. Clever, entertaining, scary!

3.0 out of 5 stars Promises so much, delivers a lot less 13 Feb 2013

By MR L DAVIS

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book promises so much. It's a clever idea they way the chapters contrast and I loved the big twist in the middle. But the ending is a real fuzzer and fizzles out in poor fashion. I finished it feeling really let down as it had such a great opportunity to go on into a blistering ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful ending 5 Aug 2013

By Techrod

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Although I read the book to the end, I found both main characters disappointing. Amy is saccharine nasty and gets no come-uppance. Nick is lame. Nothing life-affirming here, just a rather poor who-dun-it with possibly the lamest ending I've ever read. Take note: when a book gets hundreds of bad reviews, there is usually a reason.
