Anyone read gone girl? I’m about 1/4 into the book and I just can’t get into it… Is it worth it to keep going or is it the same all the way through?

No, it’s rubbish. All the characters were nasty Bees!!! Didn’t give a damn for any of them. Wished they’d all die ??
Can you tell how much I loved it.

I liked the book, but did not like the movie very much. A little too graphic for me!

Keep going … i thought it was a great read. Slow at first but it does get better, almost sucks you in. Dark and twisted.

It gains speed and then kind of steam rolls over you at the end. I liked it much better than the movie.

Get to the halfway point and it will then become a page-turner.
I would have given up on it too if someone else had not told me to get to part 2 when it then gets so much better. Glad I persevered, turned out to be a really great read after all!

I thought it was fantastic and way better than the movie. But if you’ve seen the movie and you don’t care for the book … move on to another book.

I listened on Audible and liked it a lot more than the movie. The book gets into her head more. I likes it but it may not be for you.
