WOW! Incredibly well written and worthy of all the praise. This is the first time ever I've liked - loved - a book on the best seller's list! I almost always find them to be dull & over-rated but I couldn't put this one down! Seriously read the entire thing in one sitting! Gilian Flynn's style & originality in telling a story about a failing marriage is brilliant & intoxicating. The ending is genious, not your average "spouses plotting to murder each other" kind of story. No other ending would have had such an impact or given us a glimpse inside a truly sociopathic mind.
I can't wait get my hands on her other two books and a little sad there aren't dozens more, yet.
