Is the plot of the movie "Gone Girl" the ultimate shinola test?

I read that book on a recommendation from a friend, who generally likes the same books I like. It was well written, kept me interested, (sufficient scene changes at the right places, etc) BUT the overall "feeling" of the book was utter crap.

For a while I thought it was building up to something spectacular, then it fizzled into the most horrible ending imaginable.

The ending literally made me want to wash my mouth out with whiskey or something.

I've seen the movie as well, and as far as directing, acting, production value, etc, it's pretty high quality. It's the overall story that is horrible.

Absolutely NOBODY to root for.

Big picture: If the two characters would have communicated honestly with each other from beginning of the relationship, perhaps they wouldn't haven found themselves in such tragic circumstances.

He should have divorced her.
She should have divorced him.

I believe, as adults, whether you are a male or female...humans are products of their childhood environment.

I've met a few nutty guys in my life, as well as a few nutty ladies.

Using a movie like this to generalize women is weak.
