I listened to this during a weekend spent painting my kitchen with my mother. Listening to an audiobook as a group experience was new but enjoyable. I liked hearing my mother laugh during certain parts, and we shared ideas about where we thought the plot was heading or insights about some of the cha...

Thoroughly engrossing. I could not stop listening, no matter how much my stomach turned. It took me a while to really digest what I had experienced in this story, and I keep thinking about it long after the fact. I can honestly say that whatever this author writes, I will read.

Wow, the mother in this book makes Mommie Dearest look like an angel!! I can't wait to see this as a tv series. This was a great book and, while I wasn't crazy about the subject matter, very creepy. These are some pretty eff'd up people and a totally eff'd up family. I don't think this was as good ...

Dark and gritty, this book delivers a punch from the beginning. Two girls dead, a serial killer on the loose. Camille is back in town to report on the murders, but being back brings its own kind of torture. There is cutting, cursing, sex, self hurting, and the solving of three murders. Reads like a ...

I am disappointed once again. As with GONE GIRL, Flynn phones in the "twist" toward the beginning of the book. I hate when I know who the killer is throughout the entire freaking book. Sad panda. I even mentioned on Goodreads that I thought the little girl was scary. Still, I enjoyed this one more t...

Okay, so, I've reviewed Gillian Flynn books before. I'm even a huge fan of hers. Don't get me wrong, I do agree with some of the criticism (in terms of the misogyny) of her work (which I will get into in this review). So, Sharp Objects was good. However, I will say that I don't think it's one, her...

TRUST NO ONE!!!Sharp Objects hovers between a gritty, sickening 3 1/2 - 4 stars for me. Flynn is great with wicked twists and plots. Definitely disturbing but in that disturbing way Gillian Flynn does all too well.
