I read Gillian Flynn's books in reverse order so I went into this one looking for the twist and I figured part of it out pretty quickly - I really liked it and Camille and with another little twist to surprise me at the end it was definitely worth the read. I look forward to more from Flynn. ...more

Gillian Flynn either has a lot of issues to work out using her writing or she is just twisted.

Another dark, engaging book. I'm glad I don't have to live in Flynn's world. ...more
