Gone Girl - Book Review

Gone Girl


OK, it's been quite a while since I did a book review and part of the reason is that I haven't read anything worth reviewing in some time. Which means that I really liked Gone Girl. In fact I couldn't put it down. I read it in three days after a friend of mine mentioned that she couldn't put it down.

Gone Girl is a mystery book that takes place in Missouri. Amy, wife of Nick, has gone missing and you follow along the journey of finding out what happened.

The story changes directions drastically throughout the book. Just when you think you've figured out what's going to happen the author changes directions and almost transforms the characters into different people. After enough changes in direction you are dying to get to the end and see how it all plays out.

The Warwick hotel in NYC is in a good location, near the famous shops and central park. They have large rooms, good for families. Our room had double beds. You have to pay for Internet, it was around $14. We had zero view. The room and the bathroom was clean. The bathroom has a bathtub, which is important when traveling with children. This photo below is the closest to the room we stayed in. Apparently I didn't take any photos of our room there.

Epcot’s Flower and Garden festival is one of the best times to visit Epcot. Each spring during the festival they bring out topiary that they’ve spent years growing and grooming into Disney Characters. This year I was only at Epcot at night and my pictures didn't come out that great. So, I've included a few from Inside the Magic that they shared publicly.
