This is the point where Gillian Flynn hooked me (that is, the very first page of the book) - "His brain, All Those coils, and her thoughts shuttling through those coils like almost frantic centipedes. As a child, I picture opening her skull, unspooling the brain, you go through it, trying to catch and pin down his thoughts. What do you think, Amy?
