My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Without a doubt, one of the best novels I’ve read this year! Flynn has crafted a masterpiece of narrative voice that had me hooked from the start. Nick and Amy are incredibly distinct characters, fully realized right out of the gate, as are supporting characters like Go and Desi. GONE GIRL may be filled with twists and turns, but I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of humor in the novel, as well. This is a book to savor and bask in, an instant classic of voice, structure, and careful, nuanced prose. I won’t soon forget it. Gillian Flynn has rocketed herself to the top of my list of authors I definitely need to read more of.
