Re: So I just finished Gone Girl...

It's hard to describe because it's all about direction. For one thing, you don't really hear Nick's inner monologue like you do in the book. In fact, the only time you hear it is in the opening scene when he is wondering what is going on in his Amy's head. So his whole "All women are out to get me" blabberings are gone. Because of this, the women characters are no longer seen the same way as in the book. For example, Boney is no longer shown as a woman cop who hates Nick because he is man (At least that's what he suggests.) She is just a cop doing her job. On the flip side, we do get Amy's monologues, "The Cool Girl" one as well as her reason for framing Nick. We get to climb into her head in a way we don't with Nick's.
Another thing, we get Amy's back story but we don't one for Nick's. For example, while Nick's father played a big role on shaping Nick, Pa Dunne is in the movie for all of a minute. Instead, the focus is put on Amy's parents and how they screwed her up.

The focus in on Amy. The villain. And how she is pulling this frame job off and why.

Agreed about the story with Nick's father. I was confused when I watched the film, because I have never read the book. My sister watched it with me and she had to fill me about how Nick said he didn't want to be like his father since she had read the book.

To me, without Nick's POV it makes Nick seem like this stupid guy who just got strung along into this crazy chick's revenge because he's a cheating asshole. My sister said the book makes you hate the both of them equally.

Oh, yeah. Flynn can't write a likeable lead to save her life. Nick was way more horrible in the book. He comes across as an absolute woman hater. Not just hating Amy but all women. Even at one point, his twin sister. The closest person he has in his life.
