Related: About this forumAnyone here read "Gone Girl"?
It isn't something I'd usually read, but I heard a lot of buzz about it, got it from my library and couldn't put it down!
I didn't totally buy the ending, but I loved it. Gillian Flynn writes very good books about very unlikeable people. Read her others, you won't regret it.

(16,331 posts)I find that interesting. I know we're about the same age, so maybe that's part of it. Also, I know you're an avid reader from some of our prior communications.
Yeah, the ending was a bit unrealistic, but if you think about it, so was the whole story. I definitely will look for another of her books. I have Anna Quindlan's newest one on hold at the library. I think it's "Still Life with Bread Crumbs". She's another one of my favorite authors ever since she wrote "One True Thing".

(3,476 posts)As soon as I finished I bought Sharp Objects and Dark Places. I think Dark Places is my favorite. It had a West Memphis Three vibe that I liked. They are making a movie of it, too, with Charlise Theron. Big year for Gillian Flynn.
