Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn

This was a book that was on the list for one of my book clubs.  I bought it and haven't seen it since I finished as it has been making the rounds with various friends and friends of friends.  I always go between buying tangible books and downloading on my iPad.  I had a feeling this was going to be one to share so I shelled out the extra and picked up the hardcover.  I must say it is one of my favorite books I've read this year (and I read a lot of books this year).  This book constantly keeps you on your toes as you try to decipher what is really going on and what happened to Amy.  I can say it never got boring and I could barely stand to put it down.  The ending comes much sooner than I would have liked and leaves the door open for the possibility of a sequel.  I really started to feel for Nick as the story progresses but love the true mind games this book plays.  I second guessed my opinion constantly and continued flip flopping between whether Amy was dead or alive.  I would suggest picking it up for a vacation or long plane ride as it is tough to put down.  I always found myself disappointed that the bus had reached its destination and wished I had more time to read.
