Wow... I have to admit I went into this one with a bad attitude (bestseller mystery/thriller recommended by someone w/ whom I have little in common??? BAH *sticks nose in air*) but I actually am SO GLAD I did read it. 
 And I totally fell for it. That's something that's pretty much guaranteed to make me like a book -- if it can fool me. And if, like this book, it can make me absolutely hate the main characters, but still care about what happens to them because they come across as "real" somehow. Read Gone Girl in two days and was nearly useless at work thanks to lack of sleep.
