Fantastically well-written, but the most unpleasant collection of main characters I've ever encountered in one book. Like having a gourmet picnic in a sewer.

I'm thouroughly mind-fucked. Holy shit. I did NOT expect any of that.

ill start it with you i just got it for my kobo thing kk

This is the first book I've read by Gillian Flynn & it was great right up until the very end where it seemed to just fall off a cliff into nothingness. I was so disappointed! I was hoping for a happy, vengeful ending, but any ending would have been something. It left me with my mouth open thinking, "But what happens now!"

I don't understand the huge popularity of this book. Yes, it is extraordinarily well-written, narrated by the 2 main characters with absolute control of voice by Flynn. It is also one of the most deeply chilling, disturbing books I have ever read, if not the most. The ending reveals profound evil so horrific that it makes Hannibal Lecter look like a chubby-cheeked choir boy. Not gory, mind,just pure, largely unexplained evil. Predictable is the last word I'd use - perfectly plotted, yes, with some small details near the beginning come full circle to tie everything up at the end. This is a book that will keep you up at night -- not to find out what happens next but it is grounded in one of the darkest views of human nature I for one have encountered.
