“Gone Girl”
Written by Gillian
Flynn
Review written by Diana
Iozzia
"Gone Girl" is a caper like no other. The book
starts out as a mushy gushy love story told by Amazing Amy Dunne, in dual
perspective contrasting with ego-maniac and possible alcoholic Nick Dunne, who
has discovered that Amy has gone missing. Frankly, the first half of her
narrative is boring, endless, and I struggled through it, but you read on to
realize it's purposely written like that.
It's likely you may already know the twist behind Amy's
disappearance, but if you don't, read this book. If you do, read this book
immediately. It's not often I encounter a book that completely warps my mind
and makes me doubt everything. This unreliable narrative could make Edgar Allan
Poe green with envy.
I am a very picky person, and find it very difficult to
rate my favorite things in top ten forms, but this easily could be one of my
top three book choices. I really, really love this.
