Gone Girl

Go out and get Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn!

Go out and get it with your boyfriend, girlfriend, friends, parents, brothers and sisters.

Because when you’ll start reading it, you’ll want to discuss it...

The carefully crafted characters, the witty writing, the strange twists, the familiarity and the craziness of it all.

I am not much of a fan of thrillers. The genre usually does not satisfy me much with its often too shallow and predictable characters. But this book, ‘Gone Girl’ truly gripped me, I could hardly let it go, just had to continue reading. Not only was the build-up of suspense masterful in all its twists and turns, the author gave meticulous care to the development of the characters which you get to know in depth as the story evolves.

With chapters in the book alternating voices and viewpoints between the two main characters, Nick and Amy, you are somehow in the middle of their tug of war in which they vie for your attention and love, screaming at you to hear their side of the story and choosing their camp. But the story is so well crafted that it is really hard to pick sides because your opinion of the characters evolves, you grow to like them, then dislike them, understand them, think they’re absolutely crazy as well – but somehow still understand them…it’s not a black and white story of the good and the bad, and it is definitely not dull grey, it’s an explosion of colour as rich as the emotions that run through the story.

Really, go get the book! You’ll be hooked in no time!
