Is Gone Girl worth $12.99

[Lauren88]

I have read the sample of this book on my Kindle and have seen the good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads but I was wondering what you ladies thought of the book.

It's $12.99 and that's a little high since I've been finding good books for under $3 lately so I want to know if it's good enough to spend that much. If you read it, did you like it a lot?

Do you have the ability to check out library books on your kindle? I haven't read it, but I just got it from the library on my kindle, so I know it's available on overdrive - if you have a library account and your library has a large selection of ebooks.

I usually only buy kindle books if I REALLY want to read them and I can't get them through the library.

[Lauren88]

I think I do but I need to go get a library card. I haven't had one for years but I'm hoping the libraries where I live have a good selection.
I wouldn't mind paying that much for an actual book but I think it's too high for an ebook.

Thanks for the info. I'm definitely going to see if I can borrow it before I spend the money.

our e-library SUCKS. I am still 40th on a wait list for a book I wanted to check out a month ago.

I really liked it. I wasn't sold after the kindle sample, but a friend urged me to keep reading, and I am really glad I did.

Is it out in paperback yet? That usually drops the kindle price. I've only seen the hard cover at stores. I was thinking of starting with one of her other books because of the price on Gone Girl.

I just started it the other day and think the book is really good. The price is high but it is a good read IMO.

I LOVED this book. I'd pay that much for it. If you get a library card and your library has Dark Places by the same author, that one was fantastic too. It's a little older so they're more likely to have it.

I just got on the waiting list for the ebook at my library. I'm #71 waiting for 4 copies. Fortunately I'm not in a rush!

[froggy76]

I spent the $12.99 and don't regret it. I really liked it.

[Lauren88]

Thank you for your input. I'm still on the fence but i'm leaning to buying it more then not paying for it.

It's a great book! I lucked out and found it for $1 at a used book sale last week.

I am thisclose into paying the $12.99 and downloading it. I haven't bought/paid for a book in months, have been lucky with the library so I think it's justified.

Ugh, I was so disappointed in this book. I loved it..and then I didn't.

[msmerymac]

I liked it fine when I was reading it, but it didn't stay with me. It doesn't have "read-again" potential, so my vote is to not buy it.

Me too! I was really invested in it, and then the last few pages just ruined it. I'm still mad about it.

I read it on my Nook and can't remember what I paid for it (read it back in May/June), but I will say I REALLY enjoyed the book. It was the best one I had read in awhile, super fast read, and I'd highly recommend it.
