I skipped "Gone Girl" since I saw the movie and went for this other one by Gillian Flynn. I really did not enjoy this. I don't have to like or relate to every character. I find it's actually more interesting when I come across a character/villain that I despise because it shows me that the author really did their job of emotionally pulling me into the story. With this one I disliked almost every character and felt nothing. Halfway through the book I lost interest and finished it just for the conclusion of the mystery. [?]
