O.M.G. This is the prime example of a book that is filled with horrible people and is so psychologically twisted that I felt compelled to keep reading. Like viewing a train wreck. Every time I stopped reading I had to make an excuse to pick up the book again. While I cannot say I loved the book, I did appreciate the misdirections and the suspension of belief at times. I‘ll think about this one for awhile!

Librarybelle Thanks to Cambridge University Libraries for selecting this for their Zoom Really Popular Book Club, which met today. I had no intention of ever reading this - too much hype - but I‘m glad I did. It‘s intense, extremely discussable, and I loved the book club so much (my first time attending) that I signed up for their July discussion. 4mo

RaeLovesToRead Loved this book, but HATED the ending 4mo
Graciouswarriorprincess I agree that I couldn‘t put it down but hated all the people. 4mo
Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead That ending! The child has no chance! 4mo
Librarybelle @Graciouswarriorprincess Flynn did well making this a compulsive read! 4mo
RaeLovesToRead I did NOT want her to get away with it! As a character, Amy worked well, but I wasn't rooting for her!!!! 4mo
Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead Oh yes! Amy was horrid, and the fact that she got away with everything was terrible. My only hope is Detective Boner will find some sort of evidence to get her. 4mo
RaeLovesToRead Wait... his name was Detective... Boner??! I don't remember that!! 4mo
Hooked_on_books I loved this book! I read a review about it before it published and snatched it up immediately because I was so intrigued. I feel like I got to it before I was aware of the hype, and I‘m glad. I think it‘s brilliant. 4mo
5feet.of.fury @RaeLovesToRead agreeeeee the ending was so infuriating 4mo
Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead Boner or maybe Boney. Nick definitely made fun of it! 4mo
Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books I really liked how psychological it was! So glad I finally read it! 4mo
RaeLovesToRead 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Boney sounds familiar. I don't think I'd have been able to stop laughing if it was Boner 😅😅😅😅 4mo

I don‘t know what I was expecting before I read this but this book is AMAZING. I read it basically in one train trip and boy did it keep me engaged. The first and second parts of the book were clearly the best and the third was a honestly a little disappointing but overall it was such girlboss entertainment. Also I must confer that the cool girl speech is crazy epic, but the book version is 10000% better than the movie

Any time I take a leave of absence from Litsy, it's distressing to think of what I may have missed. I've managed to follow some extremely entertaining, insightful people whose reviews and blurbs I always look forward to reading, and I hate thinking about all the gems I might uncover if I just made time to scroll through a week's worth of content!

This book was an exceptional read! Amy is absolutely terrifying, and cleverly written. I wish it ended differently though; I wish something else happened to Amy. I‘m not sure what else, just something else.

5feet.of.fury It was ok, I really thought it was going to be better since it‘s popular and had a hugely popular movie adaptation. I expected the pinnacle of the genre. Didn‘t live up to the hype. IMO. But I think it‘s worth the read. 2y
Ruthiella I really liked it. But I read it before the hype. I liked it enough too that I went on and read Flynn‘s other novels, which were also very good, IMO. 2y

1) Hated the tagged book with a purple passion and read one miserable half of Fates and Furies. Thankfully, Lauren Groff redeemed herself with Matrix.

2) I will never read another Kristin Hannah after reading The Four Winds which I know is a huge unpopular opinion. I also will never read Emily Giffin due to racist comments made on social media and I have no interest in Colleen Hoover.

#Ihavequestions

RaeLovesToRead Lot of people seem to hate Gone Girl and The Silent Patient 😅😅😅 I loved both of them, hehe. (Although I wish gone girl had ended differently) 2y
BkClubCare I loved Gone Girl 🤷🏻‍♀️, hated The Silent Patient, and also can NOT deal with Kristin Hannah - I think I am allergic to her writing. But Gone Girl was a hoot! 2y
TheLudicReader I liked Gone Girl, but enjoyed Dark Places more. Silent Patient irritated the crap out of me. CoHo is a hack. 2y
Suet624 I felt that way about Hoover and then a friend handed me Verity. I feel a duty to read it. 😫 2y
actualdisneyprincess HATED GONE GIRL!! And The I finished reading The Four Winds one day while I was covering in our Children‘s Department, and HOO BOY was it a good thing that nobody was there at that moment, because I said Some Words out loud. 😬 I loved The Great Alone, though, so it pained me how much I hated TFW. 2y

Apologies, time has totally lost all meaning to me this past month. 😅 So here‘s my #WondrousWednesday answers on a Saturday.

1. Bill Bryson has always come across as someone I could definitely hang out with.
2. All of the above, although it‘s been a minute since I was able to just browse in a physical bookstore.
3. The tagged definitely came out of left field for me.

A few months ago I saw a blurb on Bookriot about an upcoming Gone Girl cruise. Sounds…interesting?

Last week they republished a piece from Slate by someone who went on the cruise.

https://slate.com/human-interest/2022/10/gone-girl-cruise-review-diary-gillian-f...

StaceGhost So good! I loved the self-awareness of the cruise-goer (cruiser?) I just read a great snarky article about the Goop cruise. I‘m fascinated by the idea a la poirot 2y

Holy, was this book ever a trip. I constantly felt suspense at the twists that this book presents at you in the first act. The second act turns into a police thriller, where you feel a constant sense of dread and frustration, knowing Nick is right, but is he morally right?? And the third act, although ending the book well, makes you feel so helpless. Really glad I picked this up with my Audible credit.

Good heavens... I don't know how to feel about this book. It truly was addictive, but it left me feeling dark and swirly. Absolutely awful, unhinged, unlikeable characters - yet I was hooked until I finished the book. Such a deeply unsatisfactory ending, but I can tell it is going to stay with me. Its a difficult pick, but a pick nonetheless.

So it was somewhat spoiled for me as it‘s been hugely popular for 10+ years and had a hugely popular movie adaptation 🤣
I was really expecting to be blown out of the water, like this was the gold standard… but it kinda fizzles out IMO.

This was one of the best books because you got to see the WHOLE story. I also love when I read a book that I cannot predict. I hate knowing what will happen next, not being able to say their line and me quoting it even though I‘ve never seen read it. This kept me going!!!!!

Part 1: Started interesting, then quickly became exhausting and remained that way.

Part 2: Big twist out of nowhere, reminiscent of BBC Sherlock in that no indication is made beforehand in an effort to make the book look clever when it isn't. Shenanigans ensue.

Part 3: I honestly just waited for it to be over. I was listening to the audiobook, so at least the narration by Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne was consistently great.

groofay The thought occurred to me at one point that a better book would be a collection of slice-of-life stories about the Dunne twins running The Bar. The Bar was easily the best part of the book. 2y
5feet.of.fury I just finished and the second half got so rubbish. 2y

For me, this is a book celebrating writing and the way we manipulate our words and storytelling. Two narratives, two interpretations, two utterly disgusting characters. “Catastrophically romantic.” It‘s a fun story until it‘s not anymore. Not quite sure why it was so praised. Time to see the movie.

Well, I'm a fair bit into part 2 now, and I honestly hate it quite a lot. The sudden reveal of Amy being the mastermind halfway into the book, after the hours of slogging through baiting Nick as the abductor/killer, was just ridiculous, and indicates that there's at least one more twist toward the end that I can't be bothered to give a damn about.

But I've already sunk about 12 hours into this that I'll never get back; what's 7 more?

I'm about halfway through, and this book is leaning SO hard into the “Nick did it“ angle that it's frankly exhausting--and let's be clear, Nick is a manipulative, abusive train-wreck of a POV character.

I figure there are two reasons for me not to bail now: 1) the actors narrating the audiobook are doing some of the best narration I've heard in a while, and 2) I wonder how much gymnastics Flynn is going to do to make the ending work somehow.

Absolutely stellar it‘s literally the two most unhinged characters you can think of playing spy-vs-spy the whole time. The word “r*pe” comes up a few times so if youre sensitive to that, the word is present but there‘s no scenes like that. Mostly its all psychological chess between a married couple in which both are equal parts emotionally unstable and brilliantly sharp and trying to outfox the other in a game of small town —> national politics
