I thought Gone Girl and Dark Places were amazing, so I knew that I needed to get my hands on Sharp Objects. There is no doubt in my mind that I will pre-order anything that Gillian Flynn writes, she has this dark, crazy, amazing mind. I cannot put her books down and cannot forget about them. The audiobook was read by Ann Marie Lee and was 9 hours, 37 minutes long.

Along with the rest of Gillian Flynn's work, each story has a dark, twisted, mysterious plot. You cannot put them down and NEED to figure out what is going on.
I felt like this one was much darker than the other stories. I tend to get so deep into books that they envelop me and this one definitely gave me a dark, brooding feeling. I am not saying that is a bad thing, I think it shows how amazing the writing really is.
There were times when I thought I knew who the killer was, and then I changed my mind, so the story definitely kept me thinking and on my toes.
I wasn't sure at the beginning where the title came from, but when it is finally explained, it is really interesting. I wanted to see and touch the main character. I know that sounds demented, but I was intrigued.
This book was much darker than Gone Girl and Dark Places, so it definitely was not a good read for everyone. There was a lot of sexual contact, violence, drugs and alcohol in the book. I just wanted to put this disclaimer out there before you pick up the book.
Camille was amazing, holy potatoes. Her story, her personality, her life. Uffda. I was just amazing by the world-building around her life in a small time.
Along with Camille was her crazy mother, Adora. Holy potatoes even more! I wanted more and more of that women, she was just so mind blowing! One of the most amazingly written characters in all of Gillian's books!
