It's really difficult to review this book without giving anything away. I thought the alternating narrator device was extemely effective, especially in part one, where Nick's narrative is in the present and Amy's is in the past. I thought it was a fascinating study of a sociopath. It gets four stars for keeping me guessing through the first part and because even though the "whodunnit" part ended up being who I thought it was, it was done in a way that completely took me by surprise. The missing star is because I thought the ending was a total cop-out, and because I thought the vulgarity of the sociopath's language was fake and forced. Okay, Flynn, we get it. This person is BAD because they say lots of bad words. I prefer calm, cool, and collected sociopaths.

Steve You accomplished a difficult task here, Sarah -- wrote a review of Gone Girl with nary a spoiler. What you did include were some great points.


Sarah Thanks, Steve!
