Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

[Samantha]

I enjoyed Dark Places and Gone Girl so thought this would be a good book to read for this week.

I am not sure the mystery of who the killer was that big a mystery but thought the history and ongoing story of Camille that made it worth reading. All the primary characters seemed to be interesting and their stories added to the book as well.

I'm also reading this one for this week, but I'm only about halfway done so far. I should be able to finish it up this weekend.

I think that dark and creepy is a good description! Not sure if it makes me creepy too but l tend to enjoy these types of books.

Audra look forward to hearing what you think

I liked it a lot. I found it really easy to get through, and I wanted to find out exactly what was going on. As I read, I kept (view spoiler)[thinking that Amma might be the one responsible for the murders, but when the mother was implicated, it seemed plausible, so I just let my previous thought go. Hiding the teeth in the dollhouse floor was a nice (creepy) touch. (hide spoiler)]

I think I preferred this to Gone Girl since at least some of the characters seemed like okay people just struggling with their demons.

[Samantha]

I too think I liked it better than Gone Girl and for the same reason that the characters seemed more likable (something I recently noticed seems to affect my enjoyment).

Your spoiler was definitely a creepy touch!

Hi Keeks - hope you enjoy let us know what you think.

I am a couple weeks behind in my reading but chose this one. A bizarre choice for me really since, unlike most people, I despised Gone Girl. But I already have it on my Kindle so I will give it a shot! Glad to read some people liked it better than GG.
