I am by no means a book snob but I personally have the impression now that Flynn just isn't good at writing endings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1794023 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 10:59:26 +0000 lamariniere 1794023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a soft spot for Gone Girl because they filmed the movie in my hometown. I've never read anything else by her though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793929 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 10:23:59 +0000 namaste 1793929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not loving Dark Places and it's taking me forever to get through it.</p> <p>I love Gillian because none of her characters are really likeable, which I found out with Gone Girl. I will keep reading DP but man, it's feeling like a chore although I rushed through SE &amp; GG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793907 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 10:11:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 1793907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I thought so. I got pretty sucked into Gone Girl, and the ended enraged me..haha. I was so mad. Funnily enough, I don't even remember the ending anymore!! Sharp Edges took me a chapter to get into, and Dark Places I was sucked into immediately. That character, at first, made me cringe but as they develop her story, she becomes likable..as do the rest of her family. It's a really, really interesting book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793313 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 22:14:07 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1793313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated Gone Girl! If the best thing about the other books is that the endings don't suck (as much), then I don't know if I want to even give them a shot! Are the characters more likeable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793175 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:50:56 +0000 Jruess 1793175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't read the book but that movie was filmed in the town directly south of my hometown. My Facebook feed was a little crazy for awhile as everyone had to comment about their sightings. I am wanting to read the book &amp; watch the movie because of this connection Now I'm worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793147 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:35:57 +0000 MrsKRB 1793147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a site that listed books to read if you loved Gone Girl (wish I could find it!), but one of the books listed was 'Before I Go to Sleep' - very good, highly recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-love-gone-girl#post-1793119 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:23:57 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1793119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I loved gone girl !!!
