Gone Girl ( The Movie)

Gone Girl


I watched Gone Girl a week ago and I love it. The casting was perfect! there was some changes and scenes missing from the book, but it didn't affect the storyline at all. I was very happy with this book to movie adaption not at all disappointed. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike where the perfect Nick and Amy. Im so glad I got to see this book hit the big screen it's just such a twisted story that left me with so many questions. I hope their is a sequel in the works!

Gone Girl

TITLE: GONE GIRL
AUTHOR: GILLIAN FLYNN
PAGE COUNT: 560 
YEAR PUBLISHED: 2012
RATING: ★★★★★


WHAT IS THIS BOOK 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?


MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK:

I just finished reading Gone Girl a couple of days ago, and i LOVED IT! Gillian Flynn is an amazing writer; I can't believe I haven't read any of her books before. Her writing made me feel like I was living inside the book and not many writers are capable of that. When Nicks trophy wife goes missing all the evidence leads the police and community to believe he has killed his wife. Nick swears up and down he didn't do it. I really can’t go into too much detail about this book without spoilers so I'll stop there. One thing I will tell you is that at one point I hated all the characters in this book also the twist in this book are crazy. Overall the book is amazing! Perfect fall read or to be honest any time read! I can't wait to get my hands on more of Gillian's books

The Mortal Instruments City of Bones Movie!

I just watched The City of Bones movie and wanted to discuss it and get opinions from you guys! first of all who in the world wrote the script, the movie was so far off from the book, you would think they would try to keep it true to the book, since most of the people going to go watch the movie have already read the book. I was happy with most of the casting except for Jace what in the world where they thinking. Don't get me wrong Jamie Campbell is a great actor, but I just don't think he was the right person to play Jace. Another thing that ticked me off was Valentines appearance, I always pictured him as clean cut and in the movie he had all this craziness going on lol. But the movie wasn't all that bad, the character I was the happiest with was Magnus Bane I think they hit right in the nail in casting Godfrey Gao to play Magnus. In my opinion this movie could have been so much better they changed to much. I read that City of ashes was on hold because the director dropped out from the film, in any case hopefully its a good thing and they new director stays true to the book. What is your opinion on this movie? did you love or hate it?
