Gone Girl:by Gillian Flynn a good book about a bad marriage
Gillian Flynn’s previous books, Sharp Objects and Dark Places, were very good books well written and interesting to read, her most intricately twisted and deliciously sinister story Gone Girl is dangerous for any reader who has ever been married, this is her break through book to greatness.
“An ingenious and viperish thriller… It’s going to make Gillian Flynn a star… The first half of Gone Girl is a nimble, caustic riff on our Nancy Grace culture and the way in which ''The butler did it'' has morphed into ''The husband did it.'' The second half is the real stunner, though. Now I really am going to shut up before I spoil what instantly shifts into a great, breathless read. Even as Gone Girl grows truly twisted and wild, it says smart things about how tenuous power relations are between men and women, and how often couples are at the mercy of forces beyond their control. As if that weren’t enough, Flynn has created a genuinely creepy villain you don't see coming. People love to talk about the banality of evil. You’re about to meet a maniac you could fall in love with. A” —Jeff Giles, Entertainment Weekly
“A portrait of a marriage so hilariously terrifying, it will make you have a good hard think about who the person on the other side of the bed really is. This novel is so bogglingly twisty, we can only give you the initial premise: on their fifth anniversary, Nick Dunne’s beloved wife Amy disappears, and all signs point to very foul play indeed. Nick has to clear his name before the police finger him for Amy’s murder.” —Time
Gone Girl is a book with more twist than the viper and more violence than war of the roses.If you are a newly wed do not read this book because you will start suspecting your spouse of everything from cheating to murder.Gillian does a great job of keeping your attention by adding odd twist to this story although there are parts that are very slow i think they are set up poonts for the next twist.
GONE GIRL is a great thriller, but it's a gradual burn. Flynn strings you along. She gives out just enough details to make you believe you've figured things out before she hits you with another haha exposure that changes every little thing. And she saves the biggest i gotcha of all for the end, which is shocking in its seductively. The way the story ends puts the final seal on what a truly sick relationship Nick and Amy had.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick Dunne’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick Dunne isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but hearing from Amy through flashbacks in her diary reveal the perky perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister Margo at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was left in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? exert from http://gillian-flynn.com/gone-girl/
