Gone Girl by Gillian FlynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A lovely thriller with a totally different premise altogether. There is a supposed murder but it is not, there is a slighted wife but she is not and there is an an almost philandering husband. This plot makes interesting read and I loved the way the author's narration in first person account of both husband and wife alternating it every 3-4 pages. Slowly as the reader progresses,he or she delves into the devious personalities of the scheming couple and you are stunned by the climax.
Actually this would be a better read for people who went in blind, not watching the brilliant movie written by the same author. Since I had seen the movie before, I thought it was better than the book. But then the movie took 2 hours and the book took me 2 weeks so it will be unfair on my part to rate the book based on the movie. Director David Finch has done a wonderful job with its tight editing the move comes out a winner all the way through. The only reason it cost a star was there was something very jarring about the prose which I couldn't quite get over. Otherwise it was a brilliant book.
