No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Every time I think of your books, I get The Hush sound stuck in my head! I love them, so not a hardship!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I am now reading Gone Girl and it is a weird fucking book.

I am getting ready to bail on it (and/or skim the rest) because I absolutely cannot stand the main narrator. I am interested in the end tho. Any suggestions from those of you who have read it? Should I hang in?

The second part of the book has a different narrator, le nub, but no guarantee you will like that character any better. I stuck with it only to see how she tied up the loose ends, but I never actually liked it. Imagine me shrugging.

Amy or Nick? Either way, I'd say it's worth sticking with to see where it goes. But, FWIW, I thought Amy was supremely annoying in the beginning and ended up loving the book.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Nick is who is annoying me. Amy (through her diaries) is okay I guess. From the beginning there are all these inconsistencies between the narratives that are driving me crazy (and not even across, but within - mostly Nick's). I'm trying to figure out if I should like someone in this book because so far, there isn't even a child in the narrative that I could care about.
