Convince me to read Gone Girl
I picked up Gone Girl during the summer and only read about 30 pages before I switched to something else. I finished Alienated last week and decided I better try to read Gone Girl again, but I've yet to open it. I've heard mixed reviews about it so may that is why I'm not pumped about reading it. But, I feel obligated to read it because there is the movie coming out and a family friend (David Fincher) is the director of it- no I have never met him, however I know his mom (she's a family friend, came to my wedding, etc.)
So, convince me... please.

Re: Convince me to read Gone Girl
I'm not going to be the one to convince you to read Gone Girl though. I didn't love it, though I do think it'll make a good movie. If "knowing" the director of the movie isn't enough to get you to read it, I'm not sure you can be convinced.
Sugar & Spice
On to the subject of hand. For me, I really enjoyed it because it wasn't the typical type of book I was reading at the time. It's a mystery that kept me guessing. Plus, who doesn't love to read the book before seeing the movie?!
my read shelf:
GF has become one of my favorite authors because of this. In every other book where I've developed a dislike of the MC, I didn't care what happened to them, I didn't feel one way or the other about the story, and it was easily forgotten moments after putting down the book.
In all of GF's books there's a MC that you love to hate, but for some reason you really want to know what happens to them in spite of it, and then you dwell on it for weeks afterward.
