Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
I am unsure what to say about Sharp Objects. First of all, it was disturbing. I feel like I am a disturbed person if I say
I loved it. But, it was well
written. Flynn does an excellent job of
describing the characters and slowly letting you into their circle. Chapter by chapter we learned more about our
main character and her struggles. We
find out more about her home life and how she grew up while she is reporting
murders of 2 young girls from her home town.
While dealing with her crap, she’s trying to write the next great story,
when she obviously isn’t very good at her job.
The more the audience finds out about her character and the more we find
out about her home town and her family, the more we don’t like them. Any of them.
Flynn paints a beautiful picture of a messed up character,
how messed up? Well the name of the book
should have been a spoiler, but I guess I’m just not that smart.
So, the bottom line is, was it a good book? Absolutely.
Would I recommend it? Yes. Is it freaking depressing and highly
disturbing? Undoubtedly.
Keep reading my friends.
