I read defending Jacob then gone girl then took a long book break. I didn't hate gone girl, I hated the characters though and how fucked up the whole thing was. The ending sucked, but fit the god awful story.

I did Defending Jacob, Gone Girl, Sharp Objects (disturbing) I needed something fun and light after those! All the endings left me very uncomfortable.
I've read Gone Girl, Sharp Objects and Dark Places. Dark Places was my favorite of the three. They all have some twisted shit in them. I had to skim over the description of a character in Dark Places bludgeoning a cow to death.
There are plenty of other spoilers in this thread already. Just slap a spoilers label in the subject line and comment away.
I don't think I can do this on the app.
But ok...SPOILER...DO NOT KEEP READING...
Seriously.
I just hate that Amy wins. It would have been stupid if Nick killed her at the end but I wouldn't have been as pissed. He lives with a crazy person who forced him into fatherhood and she could kill him at any moment. There's no way she gives a shit about the baby. She is manipulating and trapping him and at the end of the book he is so weak and pathetic.
Plus, the ending just happened too fast. Oh I'm back and super crazy and you're stuck with me hahaha! All in less than 50 pages.

I wanted them to kill each other. War of the Roses style. I know it would've been too predictable, but it would've been more satisfying. They're both fuckheads.
It would have been better. I would not have been sad to see Nick choke her but didn't want him in jail, and her killing him is clearly not far fetched. Agreed they're both idiots. Maybe they deserve each other.

I would have been good with that. Or at least if Amy was dead. Nick was a d'bag but she sucked so bad.
I read a review of Gone Girl that said the ending felt like the author just got tired of writing and wrapped it up really quick. That's exactly how I felt after reading it. The ending sucked.

Was it more disturbing than Sharp Objects? I could handle that (barely) but don't know if I could handle any worse?
I haven't read Dark Places yet, but don't you think it depends on your triggers? If you're really freaked out by self-harm and the cycle of child abuse, Sharp Objects is going to be really freaking rough.
That's the thing, I don't think I really have triggers? I wasn't abused at all, normal childhood, etc. I thought Sharp Objects was so fucked up!!
I haven't read GG, but I read Sharp Objects and I'm in the middle of Dark Places. I liked SO a lot. But I'm a little obsessed with sociopathic/fringe behavior.
