Product Description

What are you thinking, Amy? The question I've asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions storm cloud over every marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do? Just how well can you ever know the person you love?

These are the questions that Nick Dunne must ask himself on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, when his wife Amy suddenly disappears. The police immediately suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone.

So what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? And what was in that half-wrapped box left so casually on their marital bed? In this novel, marriage truly is the art of war.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - Apart From The Ending 25 Aug 2013

By K Richards

Format:Kindle Edition

Amy and Nick are married for five years, but there is not much harmony left. All of a sudden, Amy is missing. And from there, a more and more surprising and devious plot develops, cleverly and elegantly put together by a very talented writer.

It is difficult to talk about the plot without risking spoilers. So let's say this: It is not a conventional thriller. There are twists and totally surprising developments, we are getting manipulated and are lied to by both protagonists. It's not only a thriller, the book is also about unconventional truths about love and marriage. Sadly, the ending is a disappointment. Best not to expect too much from it and just enjoy the reading of the novel as such.

The book is always straightforward and readable, but maybe there are a few digressions too many. I can't help but feeling that nowadays thriller writers feel the need to expand their books to 600 pages when 400 would have done just as well. That's stupid, because it automatically weakens the suspense.

Gillian Flynn really deconstructed love and marriage here a lot, so I have a suggestion for readers who would like to read a (shorter) crime novel which is thrilling, full of dark humor and lets you believe in love again: Heads Off (A Lisa Becker Mystery)

2.0 out of 5 stars Good start - much too long and much too contrived 9 Oct 2013

By mythicalkings

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

It started well - but ultimately this book left me feeling irritated and disappointed. I did however see it through right to the unsatisfactory ending. The twists and turns at first were quite engaging but began to be frustrating and contrived. I found reading the book became an endurance test as you were repeatedly turned upside down by the author. It really would have benefitted from a severe edit to reduce its length. To be frank I wanted both lead characters to die preferably at each others hands, quickly and without involving any of the other people around them any further in their egocentric little worlds.

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.

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 :-(

3.0 out of 5 stars No fun and hard work 4 Feb 2014

By Sue Ryan

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I persevered because I was told it got better and, I suppose, it did. But I took no pleasure in the reading of it. It is clever. It is different. It was a chore.

3.0 out of 5 stars Engaging but 6 Jan 2014

By book_worm

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book is indeed engaging so you won't get bored but you will feel disappointed at the end.

It isn't precisely a pice of great literature. It's written poorly and the unnecessary swearing doesn't add anything to the story.
