I just finished it! I liked it, until the end. I thought the end was kind of a cop out. Like she got bored with writing and picked the easiest way out.

I hated it. I have a hard time enjoying books with no likable characters (exception for We Need to Talk About Kevin). I was constantly annoyed by both of them, and would've been much happier/satisfied if it'd ended like The War of the Roses (80's movie). I wanted them both dead by the end.
It was interesting how everything wove together, but I definitely did not enjoy the book
I read that Reese Witherspoon bought the rights for the movie and will be playing Amy. I don't know how much truth there is to that, but I hope she doesn't play Amy. I just can't with that. No.

I am usually this way but I really liked Gone Girl. I think I just liked that the book fooled me on several occasions. I always guess endings and plot twists and I didn't with this one so it got points for that.
I found the book very compelling and easy to read even though I hated every single character. Kind of weird for me. I agree that they definitely deserved each other.
I just finished her other two books as well. Good, not great. Still, easy to read though.
I really enjoyed it even though I could tell where it was going from the beginning. I also liked how she ended it. I don't know how else she could have ended it and have it make sense, you know? Agree that Nick had issues as well and that they deserve each other.
I also liked her first book, Sharp Objects and thought it was pretty creepy. I couldn't finish the other one though. I thought it was boring in comparison with the first two.

Really, I think she will be great at Amy. Have you seen Election? That character reminds me a little of Amy.

I also liked the booked and thought the ending was appropriate for the two psychos. It sucked to have zero truly likeable characters in the whole book but I liked the book anyway.
I actually think Reese Witherspoon would be the perfect Amy.
I think she would be great as Amy from the diary, just not sure about the Amy that we come to know later in the book. To be fair, I have not seen Election, or for that matter, her in any "darker" roles. So, I could be very wrong.

We did our book club discussion on this book last night. It was a great book for a book club because there were so many things to talk about. We talked a lot about knowing people in relationships and the desire to be known and how that influences your behavior and expectations for both yourself and other people. There was also discussion about how authors that write with such developed psychopaths and if they might be a little crazy themselves. It was interesting where conversations went and I really enjoyed it.
As someone born and raised on Missouri, I was completely distracted by so many little things that most people (not from MO) probably never caught. First, the damn town is nowhere near where she puts it in the state. If you're going to create a fictitious place, don't use a real place name and refer to other "nearby" places. I was distracted by this from the very beginning and couldn't let go of it to buy into the story. There were a few other similar things that stood out as glaring errors. Then, I was surprised to see Flynn is from KC, originally.
I had very hard time getting into the story at the beginning. It was only after a co-worker told me that she made time to read this book and couldn't put it down that I decided to give it a little more effort. The whole thing changed for me during the second part and I was able to get into the characters, etc. However, I felt the ending was a lazy way wrap up this complex story.
Reese Witherspoon has bought the film rights and would make a great Amy.
I couldnt put it down. I felt like it was longer than I expected (ereaders often surprise me because no pages to feel for length) The ending was annoying but necessary.
