Gone Girl Book Review

Just popping in. Usually I don't post twice on Fridays, but I had some extra down time this afternoon so I figured why the heck not?

So I'm pretty behind on my reading of the latest bestsellers. Thanks again college for taking over my life. But, I did manage to find some time to read "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn.

Summary: It is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Nick's beautiful and clever wife disappears from their home on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl 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?
