Re: Gone Girl is everything that's wrong with writers
Each to their own.
I found her writing style so annoyingly tedious (the kitchen-sink pop-culturing was a case in point) that I couldn't finish it. I could just see the gears turning too much.
I'm definitely not saying that you're wrong. It's a subjective thing, obviously. You can't dip litmus paper into it and come up with some sort of scientific number. And there are plenty more people who agree with you than me, so the weighing machine has spoken. In that respect at least, I'm kind-of wrong.
And to put it into context: I don't like Shawshank Redemption. So I'm swimming upstream.
