Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - Paperback

"Ice-pick-sharp . . . spectacularly sneaky . . . impressively cagey . . . Gone Girl is Ms. Flynn's dazzling breakthrough. It is wily, mercurial, subtly layered and populated by characters so well imagined that they're hard to part with." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"An ingenious and viperish thriller . . . Even as Gone Girl grows truly twisted and wild, it says smart things about how tenuous power relations are between men and women, and how often couples are at the mercy of forces beyond their control. As if that weren't enough, Flynn has created a genuinely creepy villain you don't see coming. People love to talk about the banality of evil. You're about to meet a maniac you could fall in love with." --Jeff Giles, Entertainment Weekly

"An irresistible summer thriller with a twisting plot worthy of Alfred Hitchcock. Burrowing deep into the murkiest corners of the human psyche, this delectable summer read will give you the creeps and keep you on edge until the last page." --People (four stars)

"It's simply fantastic: terrifying, darkly funny and at times moving. . . . [ Gone Girl is] her most intricately twisted and deliciously sinister story, dangerous for any reader who prefers to savor a novel as opposed to consuming it whole in one sitting." --Michelle Weiner, Associated Press
"Gillian Flynn's third novel is both breakneck-paced thriller and masterful dissection of marital breakdown. . . . Wickedly plotted and surprisingly thoughtful, this is a terrifically good read." --Boston Globe
" Gone Girl is that rare thing: a book that thrills and delights while holding up a mirror to how we live. . . . Through her two ultimately unreliable narrators, Flynn masterfully weaves the slow trickle of critical details with 90-degree plot turns. . . . Timely, poignant and emotionally rich, Gone Girl will peel away your comfort levels even as you root for its protagonists--despite your best intuition." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Gillian Flynn's barbed and brilliant Gone Girl has two deceitful, disturbing, irresistible narrators and a plot that twists so many times you'll be dizzy." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Flynn is a master manipulator, deftly fielding multiple unreliable narrators, sardonic humor, and social satire in a story of a marriage gone wrong that makes black comedies like The War of the Rosesand Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf look like scenes from a honeymoon. . . . It is, in a word, amazing." --Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor

" Gone Girl [is] a thriller with an insane twist and an insidiously realistic take on marriage." --New York

"Brilliantly constructed and consistently absorbing . . . The novel, which twists itself into new shapes, works as a page-turning thriller, but it's also a study of marriage at its most destructive." --Columbus Dispatch

Page Count Notice:

Publishers may employ differing internal methodologies for determining page count. Some base their calculations on numbered pages only, while others include unnumbered pages, blank pages, section dividers, production materials, or other non-numbered content that does not appear in the final pagination visible to the reader.

Accordingly, the publisher’s stated page count may differ—potentially to a significant degree—from the physical numbered pages present in the delivered product.

Variations in pagination, layout, appearance, or other physical attributes are inherent to the publishing and printing process and do not constitute a defect, error, or misdescription on the part of the retailer.

If precise pagination or specific physical characteristics are material to your purchase decision, you are advised to contact us prior to placing an order so that we may assist in verifying details where feasible.
