Book Talk Tuesday

Grca_badge_winnerOr rather Book Talk Thursday.. Sorry I am so late, I have been crazy busy lately.
   So, I just started reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I'm only about 3% in (when I say just started, I mean just started) haha. So far, in the first few pages it seems ok. I am waiting for the dramma to really kick in.. hold out to next Tuesday and I am sure I will have a lot more to say.
Gone GirlWhat is it about? On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? 
   As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

What do I think so far? Again, I am just starting, but I find myself trying to figure out why Amy and Nick are married. They claim they had a great relationship before they lost their jobs, but it sounds like Amy hates everything Nick does. I guess that's one of those " you can't help who you love" type relationships, but seriously. I just don't get it when some people are together. If you are crying more than you are laughing then that is a big sign!
   I found in the huffingtonpost where a psychiatrist weighs in on mental state of Amy and all their problems. (contains spoilers) I don't suggest opening unless you have read the book already.
   So far, I find myself disliking Nicks wife, Amy, a lot. I can't tell if it's because the book is written from Nicks perspective or what but she is just negitive, stuck up, and nags soooo much! Girls are very good at being annoying (I'm allowed to say that being a girl and all) but maybe that's why I am siding with Nick right now. Who knows... I will tell you all more once I get a little more invested into the book!!!
