So, after a lot of convincing, I decided to give Gone Girl another shot. The first 90 pages or so were just slow for me. It probably didn't help that I just didn't have any time to read. It was like 2-3 pages here and there. This last weekend we went on a little getaway and I was finally able to sit down and read, and I must admit that I'm now hooked.
A few things:
1. Nick is a douche! Even if he didn't kill his wife, he is still a sleazeball (sp?).
2. I knew that Nick wasn't the killer. It was just too easy.
3. I did not expect Amy to still be alive. I kind of thought it was Nick's mistress that killed her.
4. I'm to the part where Nick is talking to the ex-boyfriend (accused of rape) and old friend (stalker) that were both accused of things by Amy.... I really hope that Amy gets caught for this. She is just as much a sleazeball as Nick is.
5. Yes, Amy's parents cashed in on the Amazing Amy series, but do they really deserve to suffer like that? Just another reason why Amy has to get caught! They deserve to know their daughter is alive.
I'm hoping to finish today or tomorrow. Will come back to talk about the rest of it. I know some people didn't like the end, but I have no idea what to expect.

Re: Gone Girl (SPOILERS)
Sugar & Spice
I really wanted Nick to man up and leave her, but I understand Nick wanting to protect himself, and then ultimately his child.
I'm a little confused with the end. Nick says, "Because every morning you have to wake up and be you." And then she says, "I really, truly wish he hadn't said that. I keep thinking about it. I can't stop. I don't have anything else to add. I just wanted to make sure I had the last word. I think I've earned that." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Now I'm ready for the movie!
