Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

I didn't want to read this book-something about the author's name being in a larger size font than the title?  Once I started reading it however, I couldn't put it down.  It was like watching 24 hour news coverage of a disaster-I was saddened, sickened even, but I had to stay tuned to find out how it was going to end.  As I read I kept asking myself, "Do people really act this way today?"  I hope not.  419 pages.
