![Sharp Objects [Sharp Objects: A Novel] Flynn, Gillian - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IhgAAOSwzttf~auD/s-l500.jpg)
I received this book in the condition that was as though it had been read at least a couple times. It was gently worn, but not missing any pages and free from markings. Definitely worth the price, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t considering ordering from this company again. As far as content, the book is a mystery with an investigative quality to it. Took me a total of three and a half days to finish. It was interesting enough to leave me wanting more each time I set the book down for a break, but I wouldn’t say it was a hardcore page turner. The book gets right into the meat of the story, lags around in the middle, and slams to a conclusion at the end. I found it to be quite the enjoyable read.

I look at a large amount of thrillers before selecting one I feel is right for me. Sharp Objects met my criteria. It is the story of a cutter. A person who purposely cuts themselves because the pain is the punishment they feel they deserve thus making them feel temporarily better. The book grabs you and it's very hard to put it down. The story line and the family of this young lady are very different and besides being a little spooked by the content you are being educated at the same time. I highly recommend this book and after I read it I ordered Dark Places the next Gillian Flynn book. P.S. I think this book deserved a 4.5 rating.
I saw some other rave reviews on this, and I just don't see the greatness. Small Town reporter with some history and mental problems, Now lives in the big city as a reporter for a small newspaper, goes home to cover a couple of murders...Ends up finding out a lot more. Frankly, I started this book like two years ago, couldnt get into it and put it up...Ran out of books to read, and remembered this one..Picke it and read it...It's worth reading, but I could have lived without the sex scenes, don't really think they contributed much, other than to re-enforce the fact that she was a boy toy with issues. Nice twist at the ending though....
I enjoyed this book very much. The author lends towards the darker side of life starting with a small reporter with a mental issues to start with and sent to her home town to investigate the murders of two young girls. While the reporter was having a hard time dealing with the murdered girls, she had to also deal with her distant family she had not seen in many years. The book keep me reading and I could not put it down till it was finished. HIGHLY RECOMMENED
