Customer Reviews

Slow start, stick it out!

This book was a slow start for me, and somewhat far fetched even as fiction crime goes. I expected a little more due to it's reputation, maybe too much to be fair! Still an entertaining read.

This is THE book by which I judge all other psychological thrillers.

Hands down, my favorite book of all time and my #1 go-to recommendation when any asks! I tell everyone that this book will change their life. This story was well written and clever. It draws you in immediately and keeps you turning the page. It keeps you guessing and has some good twists as well. The relationships of the characters in this book are modern and believable as well. Currently purchasing this book as a gift for a friend who recently recommended a far less superior book. This one is going to blow her mind! I can't wait to hear what she thinks of it...

gone girl

thank you for my copy of gone girl cant wait to read this book

Worst ending ever

This book seemed good but I started to lose my interest towards the end as it started making less sense. It seemed less and less well-thought out as it went along. It left me frustrated with the ending, which is full of holes and generally unsatisfying.

Great book, bad condition

I love this book, it is my second copy since my first one was misplaced. I am disappointed at the shape this book came in. It was marked as "good" condition, but it arrived with a severely damaged spine and cover and some bad water damage. I know it's a a gamble buying used books, but this was sent in fair condition at best.

You Are A Miracle Worker

It’s a privilege to share this to the world. You deserve all the praise that comes to you. DR Amber has been a blessing to me since our encounter on the internet. He alone knows it all. I love him so much for his kindness, care, honesty and his help in the life of everyone that has come in contact with him. If not for DR Amber how would I have been able to survive this hardship. His spell made me a LOTTO MAX winner of 60 Million Dollars making my whole life beautiful and amazing. The numbers he gave me to play the lottery was a life changing number from grass to grace and I want to say I’m forever grateful to him. Thank you sir for being a blessing to the helpless. Anyone reading this that needs help can communicate with DR Amber online for indeed he has no match. Website: amberlottotemple.com OR Email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com

well...

Maybe I should not have viewed the movie before reading the book? felt like a let down, they always say the book is better than the movie, but I think this one could be the exception

Best Hackers

CYBERCREDITGURU has been amazing to work with! They have creative, knowledgeable professional hackers that make the entire process a great experience. I am a widow with 3 children. I started working with CYBERCREDITGURU two years ago when I had a very poor credit score of 403, with negatives, late payments and evictions. I couldn’t afford a loan to even pay off my basic bills for the up keep of my children. Life was so terrible then. I came across a highly rated reviews about them online and I contacted them on CYBERCREDITGURU (AT) GMAIL DOT COM and phone/text: +1 (650) 439 0624. Lo and behold they got my FICO score raised to 805 and every other negative item cleared within 6 days after following all instructions. Last week I contacted them again for my daughter’s school grade and they got it upgraded excellently within 3 days. I recommend CYBERCREDITGURU to all who have hacking related issues. They are the BEST!

Love it!

Love it!!

Favorite Book

I have already read this book, I literally only bought it to loan out to friends so they can read the amazingness that is the book. My favorite book ever, probably. And came in perfect condition!

Good Read!

This book is a nice beach read, it's not anything particularly special in terms of writing, but it definitely keeps you hooked. Flynn had me reading the next after the next chapter because she had so many cliff hangers. I think the second half was more entertaining than the first, but it had a nice set up. I wish the ending was more resolved :(

Absolutely love.

I read this in one day. I could NOT put it down. Such a good read.. lot of different point of views and flashbacks to add some spice.

no surprise this book is incredible

This book took me on a WILD ride! I knew very little going in thanks to never having watched the movie or having anything spoiled for me, and for that I’m so grateful. This book was more than I bargained for and was so brilliantly crafted I couldn’t get it out of my head! I wanted to do nothing but get to the bottom of this mystery.

Wild

It captivated me and I couldn't put it down. I loved it. I found myself hanging on every single word. Just so good. It was like a quick rise to climax and it just stayed there.

Quickly became my favorite book

Fantastic characters with so many twists and turns. Highly recommend to anyone. Amy is the most interesting character I've ever read.

Crazy book!!

This is the craziest book I’ve ever read! The first half was good but I didn’t connect with it as I am not married and the first half is about their marriage. Then there’s a HUGE and unexpected twist and the story takes off. Such an unpredictable book

First half of the book ruined it for me.. **SPOILERS**

OK.. I really would like to give this book 2.5 stars but that's not an option. Here is the deal. This book does not get any type of interesting until about 214 pages in. Which is why it took me so long to read. I almost stopped and said forget it. This is also far from a thriller in my opinion. I guess you could call it a domestic mystery maybe? Amy is a psycho which is what she was supposed to be portrayed as. The fact that she got away with everything she has done to her husband, her ex's, friends and police is ridiculous. She should have went to jail, Nick keeps the baby and rides off into the sunset. The ending made me so mad!! Who ends a book like that ? The day before the baby is born?? That's it.. I don't want to give too much away. I do not recommend this book unless you have some quarantine time to kill. Very upset. This book is way over hyped.... on to the next one.

The book was great, but condition wasn’t near like new.

I love this book! I’ve already read it but wanted a copy of my own for my collection. I went to read it again and saw a lot of orange finger stains on the pages. So gross :/

Big Disappointment

I don't know what all the hype is about this book. The characters were unlikable and it could have been written in half the words. I found myself losing interest and finally just skipped to the end of the book, reading the last two chapters, and setting it back on the shelf.

Amazing - Better than the movie!

I always prefer to read the books than watch the movies. It gives so many more details and information about the characters and better twists and turns. I would recommend still reading this even if you seen the movie. It explains so much more about the main characters.

I wish I’d read it before I saw the movie

I saw the movie first which may have been a mistake. I knew the big plot twists before reading so that kind of ruined it. However, I really liked the movie so I expected to still get really into the book, but for the most part I was just bored. It did at least answer some questions I thought the movie failed to address, at least, and you get a little more into Amy’s head (Book Amy is more frightening than Movie Amy).

Love it

this book is amazing, keeps you on your toes for sure

So amazing

If you're an avid reader and get kind of sick of predictable plots... look no further! I get kinda bored sometimes with typical plot lines. I could NOT predict what happens in this book - it caught be off guard TWICE. If you've seen the movie, i'm not sure how you'll like it. But if you haven't - definitely a book to read!

good read

I couldn't put this book down, even though I like the end, it could have been more satisfying
