Just finished Gone Girl.

**Spoilers in this thread. Read at your own risk.**

Fuck that book. Seriously. What a waste of time.

The end SUCKS. It ruined the whole thing for me.

That Gillian Flynn thread the other day had me thinking I would maybe read her other books, but now I am not so sure. Do they suck as bad?

[Stingyshark]

I HATED that book. I haven't read any of her others one because that one sucked so hard.

[greenmonster]

I agree, the end was quite interesting but I still loved the book. And I have really liked all of her books.

[anlo]

Her others are much better.

THIS IS A LIE!! Her books blow ass. I hated hated hated Sharp Objects. DONT READ THEM!! hahah ok Obviously I have strong feelings about this.

After reading Gone Girl I am inclined to feel this way too lol

[Deleted]

The ending really really sucked

[candreco]

I took a month-long break part way through it because it was just getting too ridiculous, but I have problems not finishing books so I came back to it.

I probably won't read her other books unless I happen across one for free.

[bcv513]

It was a good book until the stupid ending. STUPID

I heard that Reese Witherspoon is in talks to star in the movie.

[Deleted]

I loved it, even the ending. I loaned it to my coworker but she gave it back to me because she said she was turned off by all the swearing.

[trafficgirl]

I was pissed at the ending, but not in a "this is horribly written" sort of way. It was more because it wasn't the ending I wanted.

I was more pissed at the way Seinfield ended, because that was straight up dumb. At least the ending of the book wasn't dumb (IMO).

[Deleted]

I hated this book too. It was soo hard to get into and then once you get there it is like BAM, she spins the plot and then you hate all the characters.

[evans]

The only person in this whole book that I liked was the sister. Hated both the main characters. By the end I wasn't surprised that it ended that way.

[Kore]

That book posed me off so much. By the end, I wanted everyone to die.

[nahoku]

I liked it, even with the ending it had.

[rex]

I was REALLY into it until the end! Then I was just all "wtf?"

I cannot see Reese Witherspoon in that role.

[firedancer49]

I actually liked it, hated the ending though. But, I'm not a huge reader anyways, so it was light and easy for me.

[candreco]

Huh, Reese Witherspoon was kind of who I was picturing as Amy. I think she'd do sociopath really well.

[Kit]

I felt the same way. The book was good, the ending sucked so bad. Felt like a cop out.

[Deleted]

Sharp Objects made me feel uneasy. It was OK. I've heard good things about Dark Places.

[Kore]

If you like sociopath fiction, check out We Need to Talk About Kevin. Years later, that book still haunts me.

Does any one else remember Freeway? She'd probably be fine.

[thejen626]

I loved Gone Girl, but the ending was "meh".

Sharp Objects is a fucked up book. I mean, I've read lots of fucked up books, but Sharp Objects is a whole nother ball game.

[Deleted]

Or Election? Yeah, RW could pull this off.

As for the book, I liked that it was a mindfuck and yes, there were times I talked OUT LOUD to the book.

The ending - eh - I would have preferred something different but the rest of the book's twists/turns more than made up for it.

[rex]

I've never seen her in that kind of role. I have only seen her romantic comedies. But since she's supposedly a bitch in real life maybe she could pull it off.

[Cricket0619]

I had heard the ending sucked, so I kind of expected it. I was more disappointed in the first 150 pages, they dragged on so slow. I had to start the book 3 times to get through that part.

Really?? I loved Sharp Objects! I thought Dark Places was pretty good, too. I must be pretty twisted, lol.

Which, now that I've learned she's apparently a hosebeast irl, is pretty much perfect casting.

YES. Story time: I saw this with my mom when I was in my late teens. Still to this day we sometimes quote this movie to each other.

"You should've just let me out when I asked you to, BOB!!" Also "Do like I tell you, dumbass!"

[Jalapeñomel]

I don´t think there is any other way to end the book though.

[snickers]

Good to know, it was on my list of books to buy. Thanks!
