Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Read Tender is the Flesh, Gone Girl and Now She is Gone.
  • If you like Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl is probably your next best bet. The ending makes a lot of sense for who the characters are, and one of the narrators is such an overthinker that no loose threads are left by the end.
  • If you liked Sharp Objects you might like Gillian Flynn's other novels. I recommend Gone Girl and Dark Places, both are great reads.
  • Gone girl
  • If you liked *Prisoners*, you might also enjoy *Zodiac* or *Gone Girl* similar slow-burn tension.

Cons

  • Gone Girl I wouldn't say is *awful*. It's interesting and palatable enough.
  • Parent context: Zodiac = amazing , prisoners = amazingly good , gone girl = awful Reply: Zodiac = amazing , prisoners = amazingly good , gone girl = awful
  • Gone Girl
  • I plan on reading "The silent Patient", "Gone girl" and "The women in the window" Once they are at my library again!!
  • I'll never forget how bored I was for half on the movie Gone Girl just to be blown away by the twist.

Gone Girl is another one where the tension never really drops.

I skipped Gone Girl because it felt overhyped. When I read it later, I learned how sharp and controlled the writing really was.
