Book Club February-Gone Girl

The first book in Bon's Online Book Club. (thelifeofbon.com) I love the idea of book club and I've always wanted to join one. The online book club is fantastic because it gives me the experience of being in a book club at my convenience. Im going to read books I never would have picked up before, and read the views of others on them. I'm very exited to start this!

So our first book is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It was interesting enough to make me want to finish it, but I can't say I liked it. 

Amy seemed fake from the beginning. She was very irritating to me. Then, when she pulled the switch and we saw who the real Amy was, I disliked her even more. How some people are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want, no matter how it affects other people, is sad. She ruined and ended other peoples lives when they didn't act exactly as she wanted, or to achieve her own selfish desires. 

I felt sorry for Nick, especially after the twist. However, I think cheating is wrong and never justified. Though Amy's punishment for him was extreme, you can't do wrong things, knowing they're wrong, and not expect a consequence. 

The end was very disappointing. Amy gets her way?! What is that about? And that poor baby, I felt so bad for that little one! I think nick would be a good father because he wanted to be so much, but I think that's what would drive him, not Amy. As dissatisfied as I was by the end of the book, I was very glad it was over.
