What is the message behind Gone Girl?
But the core of “Gone Girl” is Amy’s desire to have back the man she married — who tried so hard to win her and then gave up trying after he won and the seven-year itch set in. She wants Nick to re-discipline himself and act the good husband, not only for the cameras outside their house, but also for her again.
Is Gone Girl a good book read?
I read both of Flynn’s previous novels in a day or two. Gone Girl is much slower than Flynn’s first two novels, which is both a strength and a weakness. It allows for a slow, cleverly-painted picture to build up of this marriage and its many secrets, of Amy and Nick’s state of mind. It is intense and brilliant.
What age is Gone Girl book appropriate for?
A 15 years old can read Gone Girl because I am totally against censoring. But few people would disagree on a person below 18 years reading the book given the adult content of the book. To truly feel the book a person should have the maturity to understand the complex equations of marital life.
Is Gone Girl book better than movie?
More often than not a great book is butchered by Hollywood, with dense characters painted insipidly on the screen, compelling themes in the book ignored entirely by screenwriters. David Fincher’s Gone Girl is a remarkable film on its own. But after reading the book the entire story is richer and even more compelling.
Why is Gone Girl so bad?
Ultimately, “Gone Girl” was ruined by an over-ambitious plot and a misogynistic, anti-feminist message. It was unsatisfying and deeply disturbing, but not in a good way. The film tried way too hard to shock the audience, but simply left us confused and deeply regretting spending $20 on movie tickets.
What’s wrong with Amy in Gone Girl?
Conclusion: She has antisocial personality disorder. Moving on to the next disorder, narcissistic personality disorder. She must have felt them because of her toxic relationship with Nick.
Is Amy Dunne a villain?
Amy Elliot-Dunne is the main antagonist of the 2012 novel and 2014 David Fincher film Gone Girl, both written by Gillian Flynn.

Is Gone Girl disturbing?
Parents need to know that Gone Girl — David Fincher’s dark but engrossing psychological thriller based on Gillian Flynn’s best-selling 2012 novel — centers on flawed, disturbing characters (played by Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, among others).
Can a 14 year old read Gone Girl?
It’s not a book for kids, no matter how smart or well – read they are. If the kid doesn’t mind drinking and sex (which is not what the book is about, but it goes on), then yes. I agree with all the advice; Gone Girl is not for a 13 yr old, no matter how advanced her reading level.
Is the ending of Gone Girl the same as the book?
The differences between the ending of Gone Girl, the film, and Gone Girl, the book, are miniscule. The film concludes with Amy and Nick going on television to announce Amy’s pregnancy, as opposed to in the book, when it’s a more private matter.
