Book Review - Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn

I don't think I have ever reviewed a fiction book on my blog. Nevertheless for some reason I feel like writing about this book - "Gone girl" by Gillian Flynn.

Yes - the book is unforgettable. Why ? Let me count the ways ( ** there could be spoilers - read at your own risk ! ** )

1. For starters - I did not like the story ! Here I am though .. writing about it ! :) I did not care for the writing style either !
2. It starts very very slow and even after the slow part is over - I did not find it engrossing or gripping enough.
3. You first root for Amy .. and then Nick and by the end of the book hate both protoganists and every other character too !
4. People smug in their moral caliber will hate the ambivalent nature of the moral compass here.
5. I actually liked the ending - and sincerely hope the author does not write a sequel.
6. It is a dark, chilling, twisted toxic tale which says "Marriage can be a killer" !! 

To some extent this reminded me of "Aksar" but the difference is I did not like that movie. And the tale in the movie is very clear - villain-gets-all theme. This book has left me ambivalent which I find surprising. Being a person of strong opinions - it  feels strange.

My two bits on the book that is a top charter this season.
