For me, Gone Girl was a complete slog of depression. Same thing with Girl with Dragon Tattoo. I even tried reading the second book but gave up after a few chapters. I'm not going to say the story sucked, but it certainly did not draw me in and I skip on the remainder from those authors. John Scalzi - Red Shirts is so popular. I only keep it in my Audible library because my sister likes it. Yep, the one that prefers hard science.
I liked Red Shirt, if only for the concept. Scalzi is one of those authors where I usually like the ideas more than the actual writing. I enjoy the books, but they are mostly a one shot deal for me. Still, like they say, different strokes for different folks.
