I think that it's a real challenge to write a review with content without spoiling key elements of the plot, but don't worry, I won't spoil anything, trust me...

It's funny that when I knew about the author Gillian Flynn, I didn't know that she was already quite known and popular. Even now that I decided to read this novel, no doubt some people would think that I was reading it since everybody else was doing it. Well, that wasn't a relevant motive. I don't read novels because they are popular, bu ...more

Because of this book, I have added Gillian Flynn as an auto-read author and wil ...more

Wow what a book and what a ride. Amazing Amy indeed, what twists and turns. You may have already read it or have seen the movie or at least heard about the book so the story is that on their 5th Anniversary Amy disappears and Nick is blamed of killing her. The book is all about the relation between Nick and Amy and what kind of people they are.

And what kind of person Amy is wow just wow. Always thinking 5 steps ahead. She sure is Brilliant. Poor Nick :P

Loved the book and this was the first book ...more

So twisty and turny and clever. Based on other reviews, I expected a faster pace and had a hard time getting into it, but when it got good, it got good. So messed up, and so much fun!
