'What are you thinking, Amy? The question I've asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions stormcloud over every marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do?' Just how well can you ever know the person you love? This is the question that Nick Dunne must ask himself on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, when his wife Amy suddenly disappears. The police immediately suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone. So what did really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? And what was left in that half-wrapped box left so casually on their marital bed? In this novel, marriage truly is the art of war...
I can see why the movie ended where it did now. I really enjoyed the book until she came home and the movie had finished. These two people were toxic for each other and when he tried to kill her and then stopped because he couldn't live without her. And then because she had to have the last word got pregnant I felt the book had lost its way a little bit and felt let down at the end. Up until that point I loved listening to the audiobook and couldn't wait to hear what happened now I don't!! Overall (ignoring the end) I did enjoy the book. You hated both the characters for one reason or another but I enjoyed their story.
