Quick Synopsis: (Source: Goodreads)

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? (more)


My thoughts:

3.5  out of 5 stars!

At long last! I finally got around into it OMG this story! I find Amy disturbing actually she's an intelligent psycho bitch! I kinda feel sorry for Nick but his actions are well not good either. Their marriage became toxic and it got into them and they let it get into themselves.I guess this stuff truly happens when you stop trying,lack of communication,death of a loved one,someone sick in the family,stress etc. it adds up! your body,mind and spirit will take the toll. What I liked about this story is how it proves it's not always the husband who is the culprit. I hope the next 2 books would deliver some sense of justice.They all need a psyche consult asap!

Audiobooks

I learned to appreciate it over time,very  glad that I learned about it in the library and that it's free to download on Overdrive Media as long as one own a library card (at least in the USA that I know of).I love it!

I hope this kind of thing catch on all over the world it's so good,easy to use and most of all convenient!

About 1984: (from Goodreads)
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. It presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish.(more)

My Review: 5 out of 5 stars

Big brother is watching you!

Which reminds me of the reality show full of tasks and rewards that turns ordinary folks into instant celebrities coming out of the house way back in the day.

It took me awhile to get into it. I'm really grateful I got hold of the audio book.This is such a classic!it's really good and I love how it somewhat reflects what's happening nowadays or so we don't really know(unaware of),no power to,us being such a drone...it scares me! truly very enlightening!

I highly recommend it! whether you are reading it for school,for the first time,for fun/pleasure or simply would like to check it out go ahead and also give the audio book a shot especially if you find yourself stuck and don't want to read the book/if you're quite bored haha! I like the audio book Simon' Prebble's voice was Ok although I think Frank Muller's Narration was great as well more youthful and vibrant I think.

If ever you can't find or grab a copy of 1984 I'd like to share with you a site with an archived I found through google wherein you can tune in for free over there.Enjoy!
