A review by dinajamin
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

I like this book, but I definitely think the show is better. I think Gone Girl is a better book, but Sharp Objects has a really messed up family dynamic that is very interesting and very creepy. Pretty unique murder mystery too. Overall, enjoyed but yeah the show is way better.
