Question about Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl

[leancuisine]

My MIL is asking me to give get gift (for me) suggestions for Christmas. I have heard a lot about Gone Girl and was going to tell her that. I have seen some thing marketed as 'The Gone Girl Trilogy' with Sharp Objects and the other one. I tried to google what order they are in and am not finding much.

Are the books all tied together? Or are they independent of one another? Which one should I read first (and suggest she get me)?

I'm pretty sure they are independent but someone I'm sure will correct me if I'm wrong.

[isabel]

They're independent.

I've read all three and enjoyed them. They are not related to each other at all, so it wouldn't matter which you read first.

I read Gone Girl first, and there are a lot of people who really hate this book at least in part because of the ending, just to warn you. Next I read Sharp Objects, which was my favorite of the three. Dark Places was my least favorite. It was just okay.

I read Gone Girl awhile ago & really liked. My book club decided on Sharp Objects a couple of months ago, b/c most of us had read GG & enjoyed it. Overall, the consensus preferred Sharp Objects, just FYI- if you're deciding between

Yep, they are all independent of each other. You can read them in any order. I liked Gone Girl the best though :-)

[Booze Raccoon]

They are completely independent.

Am I the only one who HATED the ending of Gone Girl? I felt like she just gave up and wrote something to end it.

I hadn't heard much about the other two, but will maybe pick them up and see if I like them better.

Yes the ending to Gone Girl was horrible! The beginning/middle were good though.
