GirlMisanthrope: "Consequences" too has twists and turns, becomes sinister, while detailing an insane relationship. Cold, calculating, then a shocking ending.
KayCliff: Both novels have multiple points of view, an unreliable narrator, and a complex, clever plot, but only Gone Girl is stuffed with filthy language.
I gave it 4 stars only because I really did not like ending. I was expecting her to get caught and at least do time for what she has done. Gillian Flynn is a phenomenal writer and I love her way of telling a story. I am now on to read her other books. Starting with Sharp Edges. ( )
I am not a liar of Amy's dazzling caliber, but I'm not bad when I have to be.
Amy and Nick, you crazy fucked-up kids. This novel is a lot of fun; Nick is not a brilliant character of Amy's dazzling caliber, though he's not bad. But Amy, Amy is a character who will stick with you. And I respect intelligence so, such an attractive trait. Sometimes it's hard not to admire it even when it turns sociopathic on you. But better to have it turn on someone else, of course. Best of luck, you two. ( )
Flynn writes bright, clever, cynical sentences. Maybe too many of them in Gone Girl. The same facts and ideas seem to repeat themselves. But that’s a minor gripe in a book that never slacks in tightening the suspense.
The basic questions the mystery asks are these: did the journalist husband murder his well-to-do missing wife or is she setting him up to pay a creepy price? On Flynn’s slick way to reaching the answer, she pulls the rug from under us readers three times. Or was it four?

This American author shook up the thriller scene in 2007 with her debut Sharp Objects, nasty and utterly memorable. Gone Girl, her third novel, is even better – an early contender for thriller of the year and an absolute must read.

Love is the world's infinite mutability: Lies, hatred, murder even, are all knit up in it; it is the inevitable blossoming of its opposites, a magnificent rose smelling faintly of blood.

I don’t know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with TV and movies and now the Internet. If we are betrayed, we know the words to say; when a loved one dies, we know the words to say. It we want to play the stud or the smart-ass or the fool, we know the words to say. We are all working from the same dog-eared script.
I'm a big fan of the lie of omission.
I hated Nick for being surprised when I became me.
You are an average, lazy, boring, cowardly, woman-fearing man. Without me, that’s what you would have kept on being, ad nauseam. But I made you into something. You were the best man you’ve ever been with me. And you know it.
It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.

I don't have anything else to add. I just wanted to make sure I had the last word. I think I've earned that.
