Gone Girl

Hey everyone.

I’m going to talk about one of the last books I’ve read : Gone Girl. You may have already heard this title, and I think it is because the adaptation was released a few months ago. I really enjoyed to read this book. The story is really taking, and there is so much suspense. Until you have not read the last page, you cannot be sure of what happened.

Here is a little blurb :

Gone Girl is a novel written by Gillain Flynn and released on september ; 22, 2014. It tells the story of a young couple, who seem to have a wonderful and dreamed life. Effectively, Amy and Nick form a model couple. But it is only a facade… Because of Nick’s joblessness and the financial crisis, they had to leave NY. Although Amy choose to follow Nick in Missouri, she had something else behind her head. So, one day after work, Nick found out their home in a miserable state. Indeed, furnitures were overturned, windows and doors were broken, and there was blood in the floor. Moreover, he couldn’t find his wife. What would have happened to her ?

Obviously, police will consider Nick as a potential suspect, and proofs will not clear him. For his part, he will try to discover the truth. But it turned out it is not that easy.

If you also want to find the truth and make justice to Nick, do not hesitate to read the book! It’s incredible addictive, once you started to read you can’t stop, i swear aha. BUT, as much as I loved this story, I hated the end ! It’s completely impossible, this is isane. Nobody would react like that if he had lived this, I think. So yes, the way that the book ends made me really disapointed…

And if you don’t especially like to read, you can watch the movie adaptation with the same name.

But i have to inform you that the book and the movie are quite different. Especially in the end. I won’t spoil you but like i always say, it’s better to read the book first (which is decidely more complete) and then to watch the movie!

Do not hesitate to tell me if you already read the book or watched the movie, or if you’re going to !

  1. I don’t know this novel but it seems to be interresting and with a lot of suspens so may be I’ll read it

  2. I didn’t read the book but I watched the movie ! I think it was really good, there was a lot of suspense, during all the movie. The end in the movie was quite weird too, I agree with you but I think it’s some more suspense, we’ll never know what’s going to happen next.

  3. I want to read the book because of you haha, I WANT, I hope one day I will read the book and talk with you about this book

  4. You talked to me about this book/movie and I wanted to read (or to watch) it but you told me the end and now I don’t want to read it. It’s only your fault ! (But it seems to be an interesting book!)

  5. I really enjoyed reading your article, Alexandra! I didn’t know the movie was adapted from a book and I only watched the film before. Which I found weird and totally insane, but as you said, so addictive… I can’t wait to talk with you about the end, which made me quite mad and disappointed for a while, haha!

  6. Yes I have heard few friends who watched the film and I had good critics of it.I think I’ll read this book because the story looks very interresting and I think I’ll like this book!
    Thank you to remember me this title because I acknowledge, I had planned to read it but I forgot… 🙂

  7. I only see the movie before watch it I didnt understand that was a book first. He was really great full of suspense etc.. Your review make me want to see it again.

  8. I watched the film there is a short time, and I really loved, the script is amazing. I was just a little disappointed at the end , that is, a little bit brutal.

  9. David Fincher who directed this movie and is beautiful. I want juste say that the film created a big polemic in United States with the leading part of Rosamund Pike.
