Gone Girl

gone-girl   Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl created quite a havoc since its release. And everyone is talking about it since the release of its movie.
The girl who inspired the collection of Amazing Amy series disappeared on the day of their 5th wedding anniversary. Left behind is a crime scene, an incriminating diary, revealing things that the husband Nick doesn’t know anything about and a series of clues, to find the 5th wedding gift for Nick. No one knows what has happened, but one thing is for sure. The perfect couple is not so perfect after all. The main suspect being, the unfaithful and clueless husband. Trying to prove his innocence, Nick discovers the not so amazing secrets about Amazing Amy’s past. But with every clue pointing towards him Nick is running out of time.
Frankly speaking I do not know what to say about this book. I cannot decide, whether I like the utter broken nature of all these relations, or hate them for being so. It is one of those books, which you have to slog through in the beginning, but cannot put down later due to the sheer need to understand how someone can go so completely out of hand. To say that the main character is a sociopath is an understatement. A book for those who do not mind being left frustrated in the end, who appreciate the brilliance of a flawless and evil plan, who understand that even hate can be all consuming. And finally who can believe that Justice is not always served in the end.
