Elizabeth | 14 comments I chose this for the book that became a movie challenge as well! I loved it. I actually saw the movie first and while it was good I had to know more about the characters which is why I chose to read it and I agree, it is such as great book! Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This book was definitely a rollercoaster ride, with it's many twists! Great choice.

Tiffany (tiffany315) | 16 comments This book was unputdownable!!! The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat-literally-and made me seething mad at the main character. Do I recommend it? Yes.

Natália Lopes (silkcaramel) This was my book for this category as well. I don't know how I felt about it, it was very dark and it made me feel uncomfortable by the end. It was very well written and I'm certain it achieved the author's purpose in making the readers go through a myriad of emotions while reading this. Also, the twists were very unexpected and kept me on edge and not wanting to put it down. I would recommend it, but I don't know if I'll be reading anything else from Gillian Flynn if all her books are this dark.

I read Dark Places by Flynn, and there is a reason it is called Dark Places. It was very disturbing in parts. However, I couldn't stop reading it and I liked it even more than Gone Girl.

Erin Bee (erinbeereads) The ending ruined it for me. I didn't like how it just stopped. I read it for the book to movie category as well. I found it to be a huge disappointment.

Victoria (chaoticallyv) I recently got all three of the authors ebooks and figure I want to see the movie soon and I hate not reading a book with so much hype behind the movie. So here we go!

Raven (ravenkingsley) | 47 comments I read it as a mystery/thriller and I loved it, including the ending. It was natural and realistic. And you could tell it's written by a woman, but in a good way.
