Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn Book Review:
The book is divided into three parts, each narrated alternately by Nick and Amy. The first part focuses on the investigation and the media frenzy surrounding Amy’s disappearance. The second part takes a surprising turn as the reader discovers more about Amy’s past and the events leading up to her disappearance. The third part concludes the story with an unexpected twist and an unsettling resolution.
The characters in the book are complex and flawed, with their own motivations and secrets. Flynn expertly weaves together a web of lies and deception, making it hard for the reader to determine what is real and what is not. The book delves into the themes of marriage, betrayal, manipulation, and the media’s impact on public perception.
