Gone Girl

This book is a dark, unrelenting indictment of romantic love and the concept of marriage. It is NOT fun to read unless you already share this jaded view, which I don't.

I appreciated the twist in the middle, but that only gets it one extra star. These characters are profoundly unlikeable, and they absolutely hate each other. The plot tries to be intricate, but I had no motivation to suspend my disbelief because I wasn't rooting for anyone. So it just falls apart.

If they ever remake War of the Roses (80s movie starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, look it up), Flynn should write the screenplay. But maybe develop a sense of humor first?
