To capture my attention a book really needs to be off the charts amazing. I was talked into reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and loved it. Once my wife bought Sharp Objects I decided to give it a try too. Sure enough, I found myself engrossed in it so much that I had completed it in just a few days. (Having a newborn helped as it kept me seating with a baby sleeping on me a lot. So reading was a nice quiet activity to pass the time with.)The thing about Gillian Flynn's writing that stands out is the depth she gives to her characters. There aren't one dimensional characters in her books. If a character is worth including in her stories the character is worth developing and giving some zest to.She is also amazing at writing 'crazy' AND making crazy be entertaining rather than sad or uncomfortable. That's no easy task. Camillie from Sharp Objects isn't the same kind of crazy as Amy from Gone Girl. That says a lot about Flynn's writing chops. If a writer has personal history with 1 kind of 'crazy' then it's not too hard to write it. But to be able to write completely different kinds of 'crazy' shows a remarkable ability for a writer to leave herself and get into the mind of a fictional character.Where Amy from Gone Girl was sociopathicly psychotic, Camille from Sharp Objects possibly deals with borderline personality disorder manifesting itself as self harm.However, both characters have a common cause of their issues, both being from really messed up families. But again, Flynn doesn't play the same cards over and over. Where the family background of Amy in Gone Girl was friendly and outwardly loving while inwardly being one gigantic ball of disappointment as her parents loved their fictional daughter more than their real one....Camille from Sharp Objects comes with a violent and abusive family.So not only can Flynn write different kinds of 'crazy'. She can write different causes for 'crazy', and most importantly have those causes result in mental disorders than you'd expect the backgrounds to trigger. (Amy from Gone Girl wouldn't likely develop bi-polar tendencies as the result of her upbringing. Camille from Sharp Object's whack job family could easily induce that kind of psychological result. And vice versa.)Basically Flynn understands abnormal psychology and writes it very VERY well. Simple as that. Her plot lines are a little unrealistic, but so what? It's a story. If it was hyper realistic it'd be no fun. You can enjoy an unrealistic plot if your characters are completely believable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Nice First-Novel From Author of "Gone Girl" Gillian Flynn *by on Reviewed in the United States August 3, 2016* NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW: Really nice first novel from this author, with a very defined 3-act structure. This one is written entirely in first-person, from only the main character's point of view. Act 1 sets the stage, but feels a bit disconnected. I would say Act 2 doesn't really begin until around page 50, when a big plot point is revealed. Prior to page 50 I found myself wondering "where is this going?" and after page 50, a few random facts in the novel get explained and then it really starts to come together. After that, it is a smooth ride downhill: a fast, engrossing read. So much so that you might find yourself ignoring your family members just to get to the end of this book. A girlfriend of mine is about to go on tour, and I had to finish reading this so I could lend it to her before she left. Once you read a good book, you need someone else to experience it with you, right?Act 2 lasts for nearly the rest of the book until the last 20 pages or so, when Gillian Flynn surprises us again. Of course, if she gave you the ending you expected, it wouldn't be a good book, right? I will note that the ending is rather hastily wrapped up, and for me at least, my feelings about the characters don't really blossom as the could have with a more robust ending. I will say that she likely received this feedback from readers and learned from it, because all these "complaints" are corrected prior to her novel "Gone Girl." Gone Girl is like the older, rarer vintage of a really nice wine.All in all, even Stephen King praised Sharp Objects as an excellent first effort, and it's a book worthy of your attention whether you're already a Gillian Flynn fan, or you just like suspenseful, thrilling novels. Once you've picked this one up, move on to "Gone Girl" and don't see the movie until you've read the book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick read *by on Reviewed in the United States June 20, 2026* Good read ## Frequently Bought Together - Sharp Objects (Sharp Objects: A Novel) - Dark Places - Gone Girl --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1357327-sharp-objects](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1357327-sharp-objects) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
