At first, I thought “Oh, how boring” but I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out, the movie is somewhat different from the book.

After just a few pages, I was drawn into the character of Amy Dunne, who mysteriously disappears on her wedding anniversary, leaving all fingers pointing to her husband Nick.

I started my Christmas shopping early this year and have already started thinking of how I’ll be getting my Christmas gifts over to friends and family all around South Africa.
