@Tamara I spell my name out for people , letter by letter TAMRA , and they still write TAMARA. ?♀️ and call me Tamerah . It’s Tam ruh people! So no spelling hasnt helped! ?
The book gave me the wth..just happened. I think it captured the story better than the movie did. Made me think about it for days. She really was brilliant..
I watched the movie some time before the book, I don’t tend to do that but it did help my enjoyment as I found the book quite hard going, it’s a good read
I feel like Gone Girl is a definite “love it or hate it” type of book. I hated it, hated it so much that it ruined me for reading for a bit. I was so mad that I wasted my time with it. I have to like at least one character in a book that I’m reading to enjoy it and I disliked everyone in it. But then, others really enjoyed it. Happy reading?
I can’t say much without giving away the book ending but I feel the ending was so wrong. I would never have settled like that. Maybe my values are totally different. I don’t know but everyone has a different option about this book and that perfectly ok. I just did not care for it or its ending.
Books are like life. The boring parts give you time to recover from the scary or exciting things. Jumping from high to high would be exhausting. The valleys are necessary.
Yes!!
@Tamra not related to the original post, but I’m pretty sure yours should be the correct spelling ? I get Ta-MARE-uh more often than Tam-ruh
@Tamara I spell my name out for people , letter by letter TAMRA , and they still write TAMARA. ?♀️ and call me Tamerah . It’s Tam ruh people! So no spelling hasnt helped! ?
@Tamra bummer! I was thinking of nixing the A.
I once had a Starbucks barista spell it Tammrrah. Maybe that’s the way to go? ??
@Tamara lol! Starbucks baristas do that on purpose! It often gets social media time and hence free advertising! ??♀️ keep your middle a !
I thought it was an amazing read! Just don’t start it if you have other things to do because you’ll want to keep turning the pages until you’re done.
Oooo that good?
It literally made me gasp in spots! Note this one is a little polarizing-kind of a love/hate on this page, I’ve noticed!
I found it a tedious read.
I am not a domestic thriller fan. But this one was great
I loved the movie! Is the book better?!
Right. The movie was amazing
I had a hard time getting into it.
I read the book long before it was a movie. Loved the book..movie was just meh, after reading it.
Oh really? That means I’ll love it lol I really liked the movie
The book gave me the wth..just happened. I think it captured the story better than the movie did. Made me think about it for days. She really was brilliant..
Yes
Yes
I didn’t like it. I couldn’t finish it.
Is domestic thriller a new genre? Is there a whole body of work about bad marriages?
Brilliant
I found it quite boring until the last quarter of the book.
Loved it
I couldn’t finish it. Didn’t like it. One of the few books I’ve abandoned.
Yes
I loved it from the first page to the last! ?
It really was an amazing book. I felt a little crazy after reading it lol
It was OK for me, 2.5 stars.
I enjoyed it. It might piss you off though! ?
These reviews are so controversial ?

The Good Girl was much better.

An absolute cracker that will stay with you long after you’ve finished! But the ending will piss you off!
It was just okay in my opinion.
Meh. It was ok. Left me with a lot of unanswered questions.
I really liked the book.
Very predictable
Omg I was gripped!
I liked it ?
I watched the movie some time before the book, I don’t tend to do that but it did help my enjoyment as I found the book quite hard going, it’s a good read

My mom hated the ending but I thought it was totally awesome ??
@Lexie Yep, that’s about how it goes?
@Jennifer I hate it. It took me forever just to finish it. Wish I never finished it.
I didn’t like it and the ending nearly made me throw it across the room.
@Sarah I thought I was the only one that hated it. I agree with you. I hated the ending.
@Mary I feel like I’m in the minority with this book. So many people liked it and I wonder if I missed something.

Stick through the boring parts. But it’s amazing.

I thought it was good but was not a big fan of the way it was all wrapped up…
Nooooooooo.
Got fed up with it and gave up halfway through
Awesome read
