It's safe to say I'm not interested to watch a cinematic adaptation of this book, yeesh. Gillian Flynn writes such fast-moving, addictive fiction. Like Gone Girl, Sharp Objects is hard to put down for long. The books also share the similarity of being populated by a cast of entirely unlikeable characters. Sharp Objects is kind of like an extended episode of Criminal Minds in which our team of FBI behavior analysts has been replaced by an alcoholic journalist with a very traumatic upbringing? Creepy and weird and more creepy and then gross. But train wreck hard to look away. I feel like I should have read this on a beach.
