Initial thoughts: Dude, I think this book was more of a challenge to read than "Gone Girl". It was dark, the characters were all deeply flawed in some way, and yet I couldn't stop watching how it all unfolded.Probably rating this at 4 stars.Full review:Quick review for a quick read. "Sharp Objects" ...
There’s a point in Sharp Objects when one of the characters, the youngest daughter of three, asks her mother which of her children she loves the most; she’s trying to assuage her fears that she can’t possibly be loved the best, that the first or second born must be the preferred children. Gone Girl ...
Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects is a dark and disturbing novel that’s filled with creepy, mentally ill characters and fantastic psychological suspense. Gone Girl may have earned the popularity vote and a movie deal, but I think Sharp Objects is more suspenseful and better written.This character-driven...
Somehow I never wrote a review for this, so here is a review almost a month after I finished the book. I've read the all of Gillian Flynn's novels! This was my least favorite, I thought that the story was really....well. I don't know not great is what's coming to mind. Flynn's writing talents are ...
As much as I adored Gone Girl I 100 percent do not like and/or get Sharp Objects. Told in the first person by Camille Preaker we find her revisiting her home town, Wind Gap, Missouri, after a pre-teen girl is kidnapped. Camille, is a reporter in Chicago whose editor forces her to return home in orde...
I really enjoyed this one. It was appropriately dark and morbid (as you would expect from Gillian Flynn) without being completely screwy, even though the subject matter was delicate...I actually liked Camille, which is weird for a main character when it comes to Flynn. Sure she drank a lot and had s...
I enjoyed this book more than Gone Girl. I found the main character easier to sympathize with than in those books, although she had her own serious, self-destructive issues. She was a complicated, interesting character. I've come to expect surprises from this author, and there were some. But ha...
I read Gillian Flynn's novels in reverse order, and I'd rank them in the same way. Gone Girl, her most recent, is far and away my favorite. Dark Places was harder for me, but I found it captivating. Sharp Objects left me on the fence. I think Flynn has improved tremendously with each turn (though sh...
After loving Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, I immediately started Sharp Objects. Flynn didn't disappoint me, not for a single second. While I still think Gone Girl is my favorite of hers, I can't help but love what she did with this smart and dark psychological thriller. Sharp Objects is not a slam-ba...
In Gillian Flynn's debut novel (yep that's right debut) she takes the reader to a small town in Missouri where secrets have secrets and you cannot trust even your own family: Camille Preaker’s has always loved words, she was forever writing down conversations trying to remember everything that was ...
