I feel like Gone Girl was everywhere when it first came out which generally turns me off reading it. Even now, the wait list to get it from my library is epic. However, with the movie in the works, I thought I would give it a try for a quick read. 
 The first two-thirds of the book were fast-paced, exciting, and hard to put down! I loved the back and forth perspectives and dates in each chapter and all the twists and turns in the plot. The last third, however, was angsty and kind of emotionally gross. I can't imagine a different ending specifically, I just know I didn't so much enjoy how it resolved. 
 I liked Flynn's writing style overall and will likely try some of her other books.
