Finished Gone Girl. Spoiler-free review is as follows:
I find it difficult to like books where the main characters are unlikable. :P But people I respect/like made comments about a twist, and previous Gillian Flynn books suggested it was possible there'd be a game-changer in the works, so I slowly soldiered on. Things went from "...why is everyone raving about this?" to "holy. shit." And that was after I cheated and read the end because the beginning was doing so very little for me.

And there's a tinier twist hidden towards the end as well that just makes things even more screwed up, if that's even possible.

But my favorite part has to be when the police are informing Nick that they found his wife's diaries and he says, "Um, no. Amy didn't keep diaries." It's totally a random throwaway line before the line you know was meant to be the quote for the page but it's the one I liked best. Go figure.
