A dark and uncomfortable mystery surrounding a series of murders in a small town and a journalists return home. It is exciting and surprising throughout the entire read!

Highly competent narrator for this novel, which opens in some considerable strength but unfortunately descends into the same, tired dogmatic rant that victimizes all female children because they are female and all women because, because,…

Eerie and atmospheric. Reporter Camille returns to her small Missouri hometown to investigate the murders of two teenagers and finds herself and her family a bit too connected.

The story of Sharp Objects is so full of messed up people that it is frustrating. I could not relate to any of the characters in the story so I could not feel empathy for them. Camille was not very likable, yet the other characters were…

Poorly written. The novel is made up of sentence fragments and deeply disturbing imagery. The town is realistic but the characters are not. The author dwelled on Camille's alcoholism and sexcapades without really fleshing out the story…

Deeply sinister, and gives one the feeling of being suffocated by a cold, wet blanket. Hugs needed.

Very dark and disturbing. Doesn't appear to be a normal character anywhere. Kept my attention from start to finish, but the ending was not a surprise to me.

Well written and lyrical, but man oh man is it disturbing. I had to turn it off and go to Stephen King's The Stand if that tells you anything. Too much...just too much.

** stars Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker?s troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille?s first assignment from the Chicago daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her…

This book is very disturbing - yet I couldn't put it down. The characters were chilling and the plot was evil and fascinating. Gillian Flynn is an amazing author who comes up with the most bizarre and frightning books I've ever read. I…
