I was looking for something pacy to read, and picked Gone Girl because of its strong showing in this year's Tournament of Books. A couple of nights later and I see what all the fuss was about - across the alternating narrations between Nick and Amy within each of its three parts, it's a suspenseful, surprising, and surprisingly thoughtful (not to mention very dark) picture of the nasty insides of a marriage between two extremely flawed people. Very difficult to put down once started.
