I just finished Gone Girl and the only thing I could think of was : What a pair of psychos!. 
 The first part of the novel was too slow for me but the second part had me hanging onto every word. 
 In the end, I was sure they deserved each other. They were certainly messed up. Two of a kind. 
 For those who have not read this book, or seen the movie (which now I can finally watch) Nick is accused of his wife's disappearance on their fifth anniversary. Many clues to her disappearance lead to Nick. 
 Nick is not the usual husband. He doesn't seem distraught from her disappearance. He doesn't react the way a husband who has a clean conscience does. Maybe it's because he's not innocent? Of course, nothing is more damning for Nick than Amy's diary. 
 In regards to Amy, she's a strange woman. She's methodic and a perfectionist. Through her diary, we found out how Nick has fallen out of love with her. Her life changed when they both lost their jobs in NYC and moved down south to take care of Nick's dying mother. Amy doesn't want to move but Nick doesn't care. This is the beginning of the end. 
 What can I say about Gone Girl that has not been said before? 
 Probably nothing new. It was twisted and provocative. The characters were unlikable, self-centered, egomaniacs and crazy but I must be twisted too since I ended up liking them. 
 Cliffhanger: No
