Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - Book Review

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne´s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and plans are being made when Nick´s clever and beautiful wife disappears. As the police begin to investigate, the town golden boy parades a series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he´s definitely bitter - but is he really a killer? 

There aren´t many books that make me feel the way I felt whilst reading this book. 
It is clever and interesting and shocking at the same time so that I always wanted to keep on reading. But then again I sometimes was too shocked or thrilled so I had to lay the book aside for a little while. This mixture of feelings is exactly what I need a good book to be. 
Also the changing narrative perspectives make the book even more interesting and confusing which I liked best about it. 
I definitely recommend it! 

A quote from Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

"It´s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters. 
And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we 
don´t have genuine souls. 
It had gotten to the point where it seemed like nothing matters, because I´m not a real person and neither is anyone else.
I would have done anything to feel real again."

More Than This: Book review

More Than This - Patrick Ness 

"A boy drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments. He dies. 

Then he wakes, naked and bruised and thirsty, but alive.

How can this be? And what is this strange deserted place? 

        As he struggles to understand what is happening, the boy dares to hope. 

Might this not be the end? Might there be more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife?"

This book really got to me! I just could´t stop reading because I had to find out what´s going to happen next and what more you can find out about the main character and his past. His journey and the answer to the question if there actually is more to come after death is what makes this book so amazingly interesting. I highly recommend it!
