Gone Girl

I really didn't like this book and had to force myself to read until the unsatisfying conclusion. Both main characters were unlikable and inauthentic from the start and continue on a downward trajectory of being unsympathetic and contrived. The plot would have been more interesting if Amy had been come off as an actual human being and not a plot device. Amy is a psychopath, a “psycho bitch”, but the author doesn't seem to really understand how a person could be that way. I never for a moment thought I was reading about real people and therefore I was uninterested in what became of the characters.
