In reply to Gin Jenny. Well, I didn't actually Cast Pike in the role but I went through the casting nomination process, is what I meant. Pike didn't have a big role in An Education but she made a big impression.

It’s okay, I’m over it! And I might still read this; you make it sound so good. Can This Marriage Be Saved, Sociopath Edition! LOVE IT.

(P.S., I’ve been thinking a lot about reading the end (before one reads the middle) and I have come to the most utterly mundane conclusion about why I read the end. It’s because I am curious. Really, really curious; so curious I can’t enjoy the book if I don’t know what is going to happen. I want to make it sound grand but I really think it is just the stuff that killed the cat.)

“When you know from the beginning — as I did — that Amy is a crazy person who’s framing her husband for her own murder as revenge for his cheating on her, the first half of Gone Girl reads like a “Can This Marriage Be Saved” column for sociopaths.” THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU!

Lol on that opinion about Ben Affleck. Knowing he’d been cast I really wasn’t keen but with your angle, yes, I can see it. I liked reading your take from the spoiler angle, it makes me want to read it again. (I confess to ‘getting’ that she likely wasn’t dead, but didn’t know more than that, and feel I missed something!)

What Alice said. I really did not like this book at all. It felt gimmicky to me. But you’ve made me almost want to reconsider. Almost, but not quite.

Dude, I think you made Gone Girl more appealing. How very odd.

In reply to Jeanne. Aw, how fun! It's great to see your own familiar locations in movies. They filmed Pitch Perfect at my alma mater, and I got a huge kick out of seeing our natatorium and Greek amphitheater and everything on screen.

In reply to Andi (@estellasrevenge). Aw! Sorry it got spoiled for you! (It did for me too but I wanted it that way.)

In reply to rivercityreading. I liked the ending! I'm not so wedded to it that I won't enjoy a different ending, but I liked it. I thought it was fitting for both of them.

In reply to Care.

Wow, really? I am so impressed if that’s true — I would never have thought of Rosamund Pike (is that her name?) for Amy! It’s not that I don’t think she’s a good actress, but I’ve just never seen her in a part that demanded much from her.
