I got halfway through the book and about the same for the movie.

I saw the film first before I read the book, but I’ve got to be honest - I didn’t make it through the film and I found the book to be extremely dull.

Gone Girl, for me, was the sort of book that starts off with a bang. You’re invested in the story in the first few pages and eager to find out what happens next. Then you reach a bump (boring part) and get over it, but the next bump and the next are bigger and soon you can’t get over them anymore. Then your interest is completely lost.

I know most people likely loved the book - the book is probably better than the film, however, as the movie adaption went on a little to long.

My favourite jokes are the ones without punchlines.
