Watch the movie, read the original ending of the book in a book store?
My wife likes the book.
>its shit
/lit/ just hates the book because the winner in the book is a woman.

It's a woman's fantasy written by a women. Just saying, if you like the book... Chances are you are either a faglord or actually a female

>It's a woman's fantasy written by a women
That's pretty funny considering how Gillian Flynn has been accused of being a misogynist due to how she portrays Amy.

Nah, /lit/ dislikes all books that are just for entertainment.
I loved it, even though it got a bit silly towards the end. Definitely going to read more by her.

>all people who dislike this piece of fiction I like, written by an individual who happens to be female must be muh soggy nists
classic female mentality right there.shoo shoo roast beef

You can write a women's power fantasy and still be a misogynist. Gone Girl features a pretty fucked up protagonist along the lines of American Psycho (dialed back, but bear with me), but she still gets basically what she wants through malicious womanly cunning and all that crap.

As a novel it's a good movie script

This kinda shit right here is what holds literature by and about women (& our perception of it) so much. Take Patrick Bateman. He's a despicable motherfucker, but BEE would never get called a sexist, because everybody understands that a character is a character, and literature is literature, when it comes to men. But as soon as a woman is involved, her femaleness becomes the only focal point of attention. You create a male character as fucked as Amy and he's just called a supervillain or an anti-hero; you do it with a woman and you've suddenly incurred in the "womanly cunning" trope or some shit.
book is shit
no reason it shouldn't make a good movie plot, but havent seen it

Except it's very clear at the end that Amy is a pretty sad and hollow person who will never be happy. She's spent her whole life trying on different personas and pretending to be different people, and now she's just trying on a new one (brilliant, brave heroine who saved herself from a monster, married to a loving man who was cruelly martyred by the press!). The shine is going to wear off and she'll get bored, like she gets bored of everything, and ruin their lives again.
She isn't portrayed as being that brilliant either. She IS bright and does a pretty good job of framing her husband and then doing a 180 when a better opportunity arises, but the police say there are holes in the story, they KNOW she's lying at the end, and Amy gets away with it anyway because the world doesn't want to believe that this pretty blonde white lady could ever be the bad guy. They want her to have undergone a harrowing experience and be the victim of some cruel man, whether it's her husband or her stalker, so she just gets away with it all. It's not a happy ending for her or anyone else.

>but BEE would never get called a sexist
wat?
Genuinely enjoyed it. Although at times I found all the characters had the same neurotic template, which took away somewhat. Still, great page-turner.
