I started reading it at 11pm, thought I'd get a couple of chapters in then go to sleep. Kept on reading and it got to 2am. Then 3 and so on. Read the lot by 7am Blush Dp work's night shift and I texted him to tell him I hadn't slept but it was self induced. He couldn't believe it, staying up out of choice? Confused

What a gripping read, totally absorbing. The two main characters weren't all that likeable which makes a change, you usually like one of them. I suppose of the two I'd warmed to him and of course her before I 'knew'.

I've recommended it to everyone I've spoken to today, and on FB. I doubt anyone will be quite as keen to finish it as me? Grin

ArcticRoll funny that was one of the questions I'd thought of, will it be made into a movie? It'll adapt onto the screen really well hopefully.

I think Reece Witherspoon bought the rights with a view to producing and starting in a film version.

I agree, it was an excellent read.

Any recommendations of other titles by the same author?

I really enjoyed Gone Girl and liked the ending. I didnt see it coming although cruicially I also hadn't read anything about there being a twist in the tale either, so I wasnt really thinking ahead.

However, have to say I thought Where'd You Go Bernadette was a bit rubbish. Not in same class as Gone Girl imo, and what a stupid ending!

I thought the ending was rubbish. It got dragged out too much. No?
