Product Information

NOW AN HBO® LIMITED SERIES STARRING AMY ADAMS, NOMINATED FOR EIGHT EMMY AWARDS, INCLUDING OUTSTANDING LIMITED SERIES 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. Praise for Sharp Objects "Nasty, addictive reading." -- Chicago Tribune "Skillful and disturbing." -- Washington Post "Darkly original . . . [a] riveting tale." -- People

Reviews

"A first novel that reads like the accomplished work of a long-time pro, the book draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction...Flynn's book goes deeper than your average thriller. It has all the narrative drive of a serious pop novel and much of the psychological complexity of a mainstream character study. All in all, a terrific debut." Alan Cheuse,The Chicago Tribune "A compulsively readable psychological thriller that marks [a] dazzling debut...[Flynn] has written a clever crime story with astonishing twists and turns, and enough suspense for the most demanding fans of the genre. But it is the sensitive yet disturbing depiction of her heroine that makes this an especially engrossing story...Flynn's empathic understanding of her major characters leads to storytelling that is sure and true, and it marks her a write to watch." Chicago Sun-Times "To say this is a terrific debut novel is really too mild. I haven't read such a relentlessly creepy family saga since John Farris'sAll Heads Turn as the Hunt Goes By, and that was thirty years ago, give or take.Sharp Objectsisn't one of those scare-and-retreat books; its effect is cumulative. I found myself dreading the last thirty pages or so but was helpless to stop turning them. Then, after the lights were out, the story just stayed there in my head, coiled and hissing, like a snake in a cave. An admirably nasty piece of work, elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights." Stephen King "Not often enough, I come across a first novel so superb that it seems to have been written by an experienced author, perhaps with 20 earlier books to his or her credit. I'm extremely excited to discover my first debut blowout this year, a sad, horrifying book calledSharp Objects...[Flynn] is the real deal. Her story, writing and the characters will worm their way uncomfortably beneath your skin...But this is more literary novel than simple mystery, written with anguish and lyricism. It will be short-listed for one or more important awards at the end of the year...Sharp Objectsis a 2006 favorite so far. I doubt I'll ever forget it." Cleveland Plain Dealer "A deeply creepy exploration of small-town Midwestern values and boasts one of the most deliciously dysfunctional families to come along in a while...[Flynn] handles the narrative with confidence and a surprisingly high level of skill...Wind Gap ends up the sort of place you'd never want to visit. But withSharp Objects, you're in no hurry to leave." San Francisco Chronicle "Brilliant...Powerful, mesmerizing...A stunning, powerful debut from someone who truly has something to say." San Jose Mercury News "One of the best and most disturbing books I have read in a long time...Flynn never stoops to the gratuitous, and the torment produces haunting characters that hung around my imagination long after I had finished the book. Her skillful blending of old tragedies with new culminated in an 'oh-my-gosh' moment that I never saw coming. This book simply blew me away." Kansas City Star "Don't look here for the unrelenting self-deprecation and the moping over men common chick lit...I promise you'll be thoroughly unnerved at the end." Newsweek "First-time novelist Flynn is a natural-born thriller." People Style Watch "A witty, stylish, and compelling debut. A real winner." Harlan Coben "Flynn delivers a great whodunit, replete with hinting details, telling dialogue, dissembling clues. Better yet, she offers appalling, heartbreaking insight into the darkness of her women's lives: the Stepford polish of desperate hou

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.

A journalist is required to return to her home town to cover recent deaths.
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 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.

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 saw some other rave reviews on this, and I just don't see the greatness.

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 RECOMMENEDI enjoyed this book very much.
