So I'm a book junkie and I'm always looking for something new/exciting to read. I read like 1-2 novels per week usually. One of the most recent books I've read is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and holy shit was it amazing! I need to read more by this woman because I couldn't put it down. I finished it in two days.
Gone Girl is a fictional novel about a woman who goes missing on her fifth wedding anniversary. Her husband is the main suspect in her disapearance. One of the things I loved most about the novel, and that is done so well, is the switching of perspective. Every other chapter or section is from either the wife or husband. The time also flip flops at times from the past to the present, but Flynn writes so well that the transitions are noticeable without being interruptive or causing the reader to balk.
I'm not too good at writing reviews, I tend to say too much or too little, and I'm stuck because this book was SOOOO good and I want to talk about it, but I don't want to ruin it for future readers. So without saying much...the husband is the main suspect and with good reason! he has been framed for the missing/possible murder of is wife! by who? I cannot say. You'll have to read to find out. But I'll tell you this, it is a crazy plot twist that will leave you wanting more. You won't be able to put it down (unless you have bad taste in books).
I want more. My next trip to Barnes and Noble, I plan to pick up Dark Places and Sharp Objects, also by Gillian Flynn.
