I finished Sharp Objects, and when I finished picked up Gone Girl, I’m really noticing a huge difference in eloquent words and phrases, in Gone Girl, compared to Sharp Objects.
I think (most) everyone has! Lol! I’d say it’s a “classic”! I’m super into psychological thrillers, and many books in that genre get compared to Gone Girl! Definitely read it! ?
Around 1991, or 1995 or somewhere around there I read A Deal with the Devil, but all of a sudden I’m talked into reading Sharp Objects, liked it so yesterday I ran in and picked up Gone Girl.
@Millers I did. I’ve read three of her books and haven’t truly enjoyed any of them. But I don’t do well with rambly over detailed writing and that’s kinda the way I feel Gillian Flynn is.
It’s a book of 2 halves. The first is excellent. The second is drivel. It was like she gave it to a friend to finish up because she couldn’t be bothered. On my opinion anyway.
Yes, loved it

Me too. I am not a big fan of thrillers but this one was different and very good.
Yes. Very good
Yep! It was great!
I’m sorry to be the unpopular opinion- but I hated it… Loved Sharper Things by her, though…
I just finished that the other day, and thought to try this one.
I didn’t like it either x

Yes. Good book.
Very good book, loved the way it was written, back and forth between the 2 main characters
Yes. I hated that book. I figured it out long before the end.
All 3 ( sharp objects, dark places and gone girl) were great books in my opinion.. currently watching the sharp objects series on HBO

Yes!! I liked it a lot! It took me a little time to really get into, but once you hit a mega twist you’re hooked and just gotta know!
It was awesome.
Yes! It was so good!!!
Overrated.
Yes i recommend it
Loved it!
I hated it at first. I thought the characters were twits but I was encouraged to finish it. I’m glad I did.
Pretty much same experience. Glad I pushed through cuz it was great! Crazy but great haha
Thanks so much, I started to think there was something I was missing! I’ll keep to it.
Hi agree, both characters very hard to like but overall I think that helped as they deserved each other.
Someone has left it as a freebie at work. Think I’ll borrow it now
I tried to read it. Did not enjoy at all. My bookclub recommended i try again – still no luck. Not my cup of tea
Hated it
Did you get all the way through
@Millers I did. I’ve read three of her books and haven’t truly enjoyed any of them. But I don’t do well with rambly over detailed writing and that’s kinda the way I feel Gillian Flynn is.
I will say it was readable but I didn’t love it.
@Nicole good enough?
I enjoyed it.
I’m going to keep reading it, if in the end I don’t love it, well I at least can say I read it on feedback from a great bunch.

Yes! Loved it!
Yes great book.
Yes amazing but the ending made me so mad! Still not over it and I read it years ago! Lol
Very good book really enjoyed it.
It’s really good
I just blew through all 3 of her books in less than 2 weeks. Sharp Objects and Dark Places were just as phenomenal. Dark Places was my favorite.

Yes, one of my favourite book! But I do agree with above, the ending is a bit anticlimactic
