Review of 'Gone Girl' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was quite an interesting read, despite being different from what I usually read.
It was very suspenseful at times and kept me drawn to the story. The characters are engaging, but horrible. Parts of the story make you loose hope in humanity when you see how the characters are behaving. The author makes you feel creeped out and start to look suspiciously at those around you, and at yourself. That's not very fun at all, but it keeps you glued to find out if/how the characters redeem themselves. In the end, the twisted and creepy aspect means I probably wont be readily recommending the book unless that's really your sort of thing.
