It seems like it happens with every mega-bestseller though, that a bajillion "if you liked this book, you'll love this new one!" copycats come along, and none of them ever do as well.

I keep reading other recent NYTimes bestselling thrillers that are clearly being marketed to people who loved Gone Girl, but the vast majority of those do not come remotely close.
