AWOL Woman

Book 32 - A book that scares you

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

AKA - What not to do in a relationship 101

91 - Scary. I suppose some of you who have read the novel are wondering what part of the story would make me scared. Not a BOO! scared but a psychologically afraid for my life.

92 - I sat down to start reading and couldn't stop. There is something about the story line, as insane as it is, that drew me in. I just couldn't stop reading it.

93 - Just as I was getting used to the craziness that surrounds the two main characters, I was hit with a plot twist that changed everything. At least three times this happened. I had so much warning and yet I continued to travel down a doomed path.

94 - I have to admit that I was able to identify with the characters at a few different times during the story. Both main characters had been writers in another life and this writing seemed to creep up again when I least expected it to.

95 - A large part of the psychoticness of the main characters that got to me is that they would pretend to be one person at one point and then completetly changing their personality the next moment. Scary.

96 - Gillian Flynn is an amazing author.

97 - I would definitely read this novel again. Though next time I would be much more prepared for the mental strain.

98 - I'm going to watch the movie and probably hate it. But I'm going to watch it. I'd like to see how those lovely two main characters are portrayed.

99 - There is exactly one thing about me that Oma spends hours stewing over, daily; the fact that at my ripe young age of 21, I do not yet have a boyfriend. This novel did not make me want to go out into the world and seek a boyfriend.

100 - This is the exact type of novel that makes me love and hate an author. The writing style and the story line are perfect works of fiction, but the reality that sits just under the surface is jarring.

101 - The marriage between the two main characters is not what one should strive for with the idea of a healthy realationship in mind. Read this novel if you're confused as to what a healthy relationship looks like, this is not it.
