I must say, though, that the ending of that felt very rushed too, and there was so much build up. Things were solved in the last few pages and it felt like an afterthought.

I thought writing it spoiler free would be fun to do, but it was hard! I really liked Amy and how you kind of first sympathized with her, and then realized how effed up she actually was! Personally I like a more closed ending, because I just wish Amy what she deserved!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-65258644687155890232016-10-08T04:08:43.155-04:002016-10-08T04:08:43.155-04:00This has GOT to be my mostest favoritest crime/thr...This has GOT to be my mostest favoritest crime/thriller. I absolutely LOVED everything, from the writing to the characters to their so, so messed up relationships and ARGH. I'm so glad you red this, Em! However much I love this book, I'm REALLY scared to recommend this to people because I'm so nervous thinking how they'd react to Amy. She's so deliciously effed up that I ca't bear it if people don't "get" her :D The ending, I can see why it might have sounded confusing and kinda anti-climactic to you, but I personally loved it and thought it served them right. Also, it helped contribute towards the essence of the story? IDK, but I LOVE Gone Girl :D Great review, EM! I'm amazed by your ability to have it written spoiler-free :P Ruzaika @ Wordy & Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622559256241751912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-24283491259890820012016-10-07T15:37:34.666-04:002016-10-07T15:37:34.666-04:00Lol maybe I've got a future career ahead of me...Lol maybe I've got a future career ahead of me!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-6981565594118585202016-10-07T09:42:54.314-04:002016-10-07T09:42:54.314-04:00Ha, I can totally imagine you with a little PI fir...Ha, I can totally imagine you with a little PI firm, a hat on at a jaunty angle, and a whole noir-ish thing going on.

Amy was such a strong female character to read about. I thought that the ending was really unique in that sense but I guess for me personally, I prefer more of a closure. paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-57045183874925552262016-10-07T09:15:41.480-04:002016-10-07T09:15:41.480-04:00I think it was one of those books that I just had ...I think it was one of those books that I just had to try for myself.

For me it's a really important book because it's what got me back into reading regularly whilst at uni and also it got me reading crime/thriller books which are now probably my favourite.<br /><br />For me, the characters are the best bit. I think Amy is a brilliant character, she's very dark and very cunning and calculated and back when I read it, she was the only female character like that that I'd read.<br /><br />I don't remember having an issue with the pacing of the ending, but if I were to read it again it wouldn't surprise me if I also felt the same as you. In general though, I really liked the ending because of how nothing happens in terms of justice, and how they just carry on as if nothing's happened but it's clear that something is deeply deeply wrong with their relationship.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238283037198379574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-78355345796211178352016-10-07T07:22:38.257-04:002016-10-07T07:22:38.257-04:00I'm so glad u finally got to read it!
