Gone Girl

If Gone Girl wasn't on Amazon's 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime, which I'm reading through with my wife, then I would have quit about 50 pages in. The first 50 pages are full of so much navel gazing that it was painful to read.I will admit that I did chuckle a bit when later in the novel one of the two main characters actually admitted as such. That bit did get a bit better, but the characters have zero redeeming qualities and the twist happens halfway through the book. The cards had been laid on the table and there was still half a book to get through. The only characters that aren't completely terrible are Go and Rhonda. But Rhonda doesn't even get any sort of personality until the novel is wrapping up.

I could see it coming but I was still pissed at the ending. This is it? Seriously?
