This book is great, really well written. You just can't get enough of it. It just makes you want to know more and more of the history. I actually got all of Gillian Flynn's books and this one is stil number 1 for me.

I really loved this book and it led me to read the rest of Gillian Flynn's novels. Its darker than I thought it would be, but I loved it even more for that, couldn't put it down! I thought the characters were really well crafted, Libby Day being as a "real" product of her experience instead of a glossed over archetype of what a victim should be. Ending was great, loved it all around.
