Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Sharp Objects
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.Librarian's Note: this is an alternate cover edition - ISBN 10: 0307341550 (ISBN 13: 9780307341556)

sweet jesus.EDIT: it's been a few days and i literally can't stop thinking about this freakin book, sooooo 5 stars it is! first fave of 2020 :)Fabulously reviewed Maria!!💞😉💋👍
2.5 Stars. Unfortunately, I did not love this book and it is probably my least favorite of Gillian Flynn's work. As this was her debut, I'm happy to say I feel her later works show great improvement and a lot of strength.CW: self-harm, sexualization of children, murder, child abuse (I don't normally put content warnings under spoilers but this warning is so integral to the ending AND it's so specific that I don't want people attacking me for spoiling the book) (view spoiler)[Munchausen By Proxy
1 StarOverview: I should have known better. I dont have an excuse.I read Gillian Flynn's other book, Gone Girl, last yearand wasnt a fan. Everyone raved about it, but I found the characters shallow, the plot twists weak, and the narrative so busy being cynical it didnt seem to know what it was trying to say. Nevertheless, Id heard great things about Gillian Flynns writing. So I went into this with an open mind--- maybe I had just started with the wrong book! But I really should have known
I read this after watching your video. It was so good!!
When I had first come across rave reviews of Gone Girl, I was bowled over by the fact that there's after all a woman who is brave enough to try her hand at a genre rarely ventured into by women writers. And apparently, she excels at it too. Surely, she couldn't have hoodwinked hordes of unsuspecting readers into giving her books such high ratings.So I had decided I'd devour Gillian Flynn's entire oeuvre starting with her first published work. Needless to say, that it is with obvious
Grippin book! WHERE EVERYTHING STARTED Gillian Flynn is one of the most worldwide famous and popular authors nowadays with best-selling novels like Gone Girl and Dark Places, along with the short story The Grownup, but her debut novel was this one, Sharp Objects.Flynns style features broken characters, nasty acts, gruesome crimes and plot twists, showing a face of American contemporary towns (not matter if theyre ficticious) that its not so common portraitedand a truly grippin narrative.Maybe
