Saturday Morning Reading with Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Have you heard of this novel yet?  It just came out this summer, and everytime I mention it, I am met with an overwhelming response.  "I am obsessed!“  "Couldn’t put it down!”  "Did you even expect…“  

Now that I told you how addicting this read is, let me set the premise for this modern day thriller.  It is the day of Nick & Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary, but they are broken. From the first chapter, you know there is trouble in paradise, if only from  Nick’s reluctance to go downstairs to greet his wife in the morning.  This is where ithe story starts, each chapter reveals a new twist, a dark secret.  Then, somewhere in the middle… BAM! you will not see it coming.  Or at least I didn’t.

The characters – all of them – are quite off center.  Amy & Nick are disturbed, troubled individuals. Bring them together and you have a fun, fast & furious read.  It was a (according to the NY Times) an ice pick sharp thriller.  And one that I truly recommend – dare I say insist? – you read (buy here).  Hold on to your seat, you are in for a ride…
