I was in a reading slump, everything I read just felt boring. I wanted a well-written thriller that thrilled me, Sharp Objects did exactly that. A story about sickness to death, toxic mothers, true crime and not knowing how to resolve any of those. Camille’s life and the crimes she is investigating slowly blur together.
You’ll hate Camille but in some moments you can’t help but sympathize with her. Her fucking John disguised me. I have wondered how people do some bad things with no remorse, she just doesn’t think about it. I could say the same about the rest of her family. Adora only thought of how nice it felt to enforce sickness or death. It wasn’t super surprising that she was the killer but it made perfect sense. There were so many parallels.
The story makes it clear how bad the police are. Straight up incompetent. The scene where Richard saw Camille’s cuts made me ache.
It packs a lot into little pages. I wish we had more newspapers with what she wrote. I also wish there was a more dramatic ending because it is more of learning what happens but not experiencing with what happened.
Very good book. However, since I’ve watched the show twice through, I knew all that was going to happen so I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have
I think my expectations were higher in many ways which set me up for failure. I was able to predict the twists before we got there, but still enjoyed the journey, even if some of it felt gratuitous.

That was somehow boring and pretty predictable. I just wanted to get it over with.
A história deste livro é extremamente perturbadora. Desde o início da leitura que senti um incómodo estranho que se instalou em mim e que me nauseava de uma forma inexplicável. As personagens deixavam-me inquieta e criavam uma tensão psicológica muito intensa.
Gostei do livro, mas não conseguiu superar o "Em parte incerta". Considero uma boa leitura para todos aqueles que querem uma história perturbadora, negra e carregada de tensão psicológica.
