Sharp Objects (Mass Market)
Sharp Objects (Mass Market) | Gillian Flynn
FROM THE #1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "GONE GIRL"Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story and survive this homecoming."

A slow start - I didn‘t love many (any?) of the characters, which made it hard to get into. But it picked up, and the ending was surprising. (19)
⭐️: 3/5

I don't know ... I liked the plot in general but some things were just too much for me. The ending was kind of rushed.

Reggie Omg, I love horror but this book was so dark I had to go hide in romance for a while after reading this. lol it was too much. 7mo

One of those books I just could not put down. Small town drama, class disparity, murders, pain, violence, inter generational trauma, care wrapped up and delivered in a masterful voice. Finished it mid morning in the bath, felt fitting given Camille‘s situation at that time. I‘m hooked and look forward to reading more Flynn.

This was….deliciously twisted! My Goodreads account says I read this a few years ago but I have no memory of it. And how would I forget something so unsettling and depraved? There is some serious trauma and mental illness going on here (trigger warnings galore) and I really enjoyed (enjoyed? Not really sure that‘s the right word) watching all the pieces fall into place. I really wish Gillian Flynn would write more books! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

LiteraryinPA I still remember how skin-crawly (yes, it‘s a word) this one was! 😬 1y

Flynn is no one-hit wonder. Even though Sharp Objects didn‘t quite live up to her most popular book, it was still good. Highly readable, and darker, if you can believe it. This book mixes together the “beautiful woman with dark secrets” idea with the essence of Southern Gothic, and the results are impressive.

Reggie I stopped reading horror for a while after reading this one. It was a lot. 2y

And excellent thriller and character-exploration with an eerie atmosphere the whole way through. Well written, complex characters, an engaging plot with some twists, and a small-town that feels like it's right out of the midwest. Must read!!

Another slow reading month for me. I think I have a handle (for the most part) on work and life. Plus I finished Grey‘s Anatomy 😅 My favorite this month was a tie with 2 4 ✨ Sharp Objects which I read really fast, and Fake it Til You Bake it.

4✨I was engrossed in this story unable to put it down. Camille comes from a small town. Reluctantly she agrees to go back to write about it. There is one girl dead and another missing. She mostly partners with the police officer trying to figure it out. While there is all sorts of twists throughout the book I had an idea that the person who did it was the killer. I didn‘t like the cutting, heavy drinking, sex scenes, or drug use in this story.

weak pick, because while I was largely entertained by this one, I can‘t say I was all that impressed :/ I read the whole thing in a sitting, so the usual intrigue and pace of Flynn was as interesting as ever. I predicted the outcome very early on though… Still. Seeing HOW it all came together was as fun as learning whodunnit :)

Wow….some parts were predictable, but so twisted that I still wasn‘t sure about the details. Normally any predictability would ruin it for me, but it was so dark and intense that I couldn‘t put it down anyways. Same thing with having an oftentimes unlikable main character, it still managed to keep me hooked.

My May #BookSpin landed on “A book on my actual TBR shelves“ and I chose a book I wanted to read for a while, A Perfect Blank by Rye Duran, a SciFi dystopian YA novel in verse. I would've liked more attention paid to the trans personality of the main character but even so, I enjoyed it. A pick!

Since the above is not in the Litsy database, I tagged instead Sharp Objects: finished a few days ago it got me a #BookSpinBingo.😉

Objectively, I feel like Flynn is a good writer. I enjoyed Gone Girl when I read it a few years back. And this one was written well enough, but it was extraordinarily graphic and icky in ways that made me very uncomfortable. I'm not usually squeamish about most things in books, but something about this one just didn't sit well with me. I don't think I'll be watching the miniseries.

jeannasser I thought I was the only one who didn‘t like this 😭 my problem was that I found the overall tone a little too drab and I predicted the mystery very easily 3y

Unabridged Audiobook (6/10):
I knew less than an hour into this book who was guilty of the murders of two girls in this rural Missouri town. To me, so much of this story DRAGS because of this. No genuine mystery, but cool insights into human emotions and actions associated with them.

I read this book in a day. I could not put it down. I had seen the show before I read it and I really wish I hadn‘t because the book provided so much more. Almost all of the characters were female and they were all so flawed, so beautiful, so amazing.

Watching Sharp Objects which I read a couple months ago. Amy Adams settles right in as Camille Preaker, but I‘m going to have a hard time buying that Chris Messina is anyone but Danny from Mindy Project.

This book has an awesome athmosphere! Flynn writes small town disturbing atmosphere so well!!! The story and writing style worked really well in Finnish as well. The characters were so believable and the story just kept creeping me out. I absolutely loved this (and hated it on the right level as well 😂). If you haven't read this yet you reallu should!

Finally sinking into this book. I‘ve actually never read anything by Gillian Flynn 🤐 which is strange because I will read any book recommended by Gillian Flynn. I paid an extra dollar for this version over the HBO TV cover. Enjoying so far, took me a few pages to slow down my brain enough for the noir writing style

Very well done, although I think the ending is obscure enough to make those who haven‘t read the book, pick it up. Which miiiight have been the intention? 🤪🧐

My first book of 2021 🎉 This book was very intriguing. I did see the end coming but there were a lot of details to be filled in. I was absolutely hooked from the start! I wanted to know every detail about every character. 📖 I do suggest looking up trigger warnings 😊 Can't wait to dive into the show!

Such a great pick from @LapReader for #newyearwhodis 🎉 Can't wait to read another from your list! @monalyisha
