Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

I’m not sure if I completely like the book. I did not like the beginning- it just dragged on and on. I did not, definitely NOT, like the ending. It seemed like a cop-out, a way way out, non-committal, too yellow to let the right guy win conclusively. Maybe it was supposed to “not be a cliche” ending. Perhaps. I’ll say this though - the characters are really interesting, the plot is good and the ending was unexpected (for me), even while feeling inconclusive (my opinion). Definitely not a bad book.
