Gone Girl Book Review
Gillian Flynn is an amazing author. She has the ability to surprise the readers in unexpected ways. Gone Girl is well-written and engaging. It kept me hooked from the first line.
This book is full of twists. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time and guessing till the end.
The two points of view of the characters with the unreliable narrator are what make this book amazing. It takes you to dark places in Nick and Amy’s minds.
The complex characters and the disturbing and intriguing story keep you hooked till the end. Everyone is unreliable, everything is questionable. No doubt the book is dark and violent, but that is what makes this book amazing for me. I wanted to read something like this and I definitely got that.
Some people love the book Gone Girl and some don’t. But I personally loved reading it. It’s Violent, Thrilling, and dark. If you like and want to read something violent then this is the book for you.
