I've heard so many positive things about it and have read some great reviews. The dual POV, with the wife's in the past through her diary entries, certainly sounds like an interesting approach to take on this book. I'm sure I'll form my own suspicions while reading the book, but I'm sure they'll be wrong. I'm really bad at guessing these sorts of things, so I'm sure I'll enjoy reading this and learning the truth of the mystery.

I've seen the name 'Gillian Flynn' floating around Goodreads stringed in with the words 'brilliant', 'twisted', 'excellent', etc. You have certainly convinced me to abandon my current book for Gone Girl! I really liked the sinister nature of In the Woods so I'm excited to dive into this one soon...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-26632975117849525442012-11-17T02:10:20.199+00:002012-11-17T02:10:20.199+00:00This sounds powerful, esp that it could give you g...This sounds powerful, esp that it could give you gooshbumps. <br />Glad that you enjoyed. <br />Happy reading, <br />Brandi from <a href="http://blkosiner.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Blkosiner’s Book Blog</a><br />brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-49493739143017837782012-11-16T23:53:55.226+00:002012-11-16T23:53:55.226+00:00Wow.

I love that it's one of those novels you can't stop thinking about and the fact that it was a paradox makes me want to pick it up at once! I've seen so many mixed reviews of this, but from what you've said, I think I'll love it! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-44741132906241161712012-11-16T18:57:00.006+00:002012-11-16T18:57:00.006+00:00Oh yes!

It is one that makes your head spin and the complete reversal in the second half is brilliant, it totally messes with your head and I changed my opinions numerous times. Oh and that ending!? What shocker.

This sounds creepy, and I'm very curious to see whether or not I believe Nick capable of killing Amy.

It was just too much because it involved children and that's waaay out of my comfort zone. This sounds like something I'd like, though, because as far as I can tell, there are no children hurt, and adults are another thing entirely. <br />Wonderful review, Jasprit!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-66499765174149769242012-11-16T13:31:55.002+00:002012-11-16T13:31:55.002+00:00Wow.

Plus, the setting is familiar to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jasprit. You gave me chills.
