Anyone read this book? OMG, I am soooooo hooked on it. It's like I'm dying to find out what happens, but I'll be sad when the book is over.

I am rivited, for sure. It may not be for those somewhat close to d-day, tho. So far, there's not a lot of A stuff, but there is infidelity. It's mostly about a wife that goes missing on their 5th anniversary.
Man, I'm hooked!

I could not put this book down and finished it yesterday. Definitely a page turner. Still not sure how I feel about the ending, but full of surprises.

This book was highlighted in our Sunday paper today. Putting it on my nook wish list.

I read this book and loved it, I just wanted to put out there that later in the book there is stuff that might trigger people. I wasn't prepared for it and it was a little unsettling at first.

Awesome book, but I did trigger big time. I was obsessed with finishing it.

I can't seem to find this book ANYWHERE!!! Amazon says they have a pre-order for November, 2012. My two local libraries have like a 3 week wait list on it.
Any ideas where in the world I can get a copy (preferably cheaper).

Wish I could loan you mine, but I downloaded it to my Kindle. Don't understand Amazon having it on backorder for THAT long either.
ETA: Here's a link to the ones on ebay:

I downloaded it to my Kindle the day I heard them talking about it on NPR. I haven't started it yet because 50 Shades of S&M got in my way! 
I'm sure GG will be much more thought provoking!

2kids,
I just went to amazon and they have it in stock for $13.98. Are you searching for the one by Gillian Flynn?

Yes, that's where I went but didn't see any. Maybe I didn't put in the title right, although I did see some on back order.
I don't have a kindle and probably never will, so a hard copy (physical copy) is needed.
Thanks for the input. I'll check out ebay.

Amazon has it in stock. But strangely, today it's $15. Anyway, here's the link:

Read it, loved it! Even with the infidelity angle, I thought it was well/accurately handled.

Just got it on my kindle - you guys got me intrigued about it!

Oh no I have to go to work today. I don't want to stop reading! I do like her style of writing.

Yes, definitely not a book for someone who is new to our sitch! I'm hardened and crusty so it doesn't phase me.

Done - easy read, kept you wondering but I agree the last third of the book was a bit......

Wow. Great book. Definitely a page turner.
13 years later...finally healed. Definitely survived and thrived and you can, too.

I keep seeing this book pop up here. I have almost ordered it and read all the reviews on Amazon but it sounds like so many things I've watched on crime TV.
So before I spend the money can someone tell me why what is different about it? What made it worthwhile for you to read?
In life, much of what one grieves one never had.
