From Publishers Weekly

Flynn gives new meaning to the term "dysfunctional family" in her chilling debut thriller. Camille Preaker, once institutionalized for youthful self-mutilation, now works for a third-rung Chicago newspaper. When a young girl is murdered and mutilated and another disappears in Camille's hometown of Wind Gap, Mo., her editor, eager for a scoop, sends her there for a human-interest story. Though the police, including Richard Willis, a profiler from Kansas City, Mo., say they suspect a transient, Camille thinks the killer is local. Interviewing old acquaintances and newcomers, she relives her disturbed childhood, gradually uncovering family secrets as gruesome as the scars beneath her clothing. The horror creeps up slowly, with Flynn misdirecting the reader until the shocking, dreadful and memorable double ending. She writes fluidly of smalltown America, though many characters are clichés hiding secrets. Flynn, the lead TV critic for Entertainment Weekly, has already garnered blurbs from Stephen King and Harlan Coben. 5-city author tour; foreign rights sold in 10 countries. (Oct.)

From AudioFile

Reporter Camille Preaker is working for a third-rate Chicago newspaper when her editor sends her back to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri, to cover the murder and mutilation of a young girl. Ann Marie Lee delivers this first-person narrative in a sleepy, depressed-sounding tone that also sounds, at times, petulant or patronizing. Still, Lee's delivery builds tension with chilling undertones. This gripping novel is a foray into multiple generations of a deeply troubled family, and Camille herself is a young woman with a past. The descriptions of violence are truly unsettling and sinister. Warning: This novel may create images that are, even with time, difficult to forget.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A STUNNING DEBUT WITH TOPNOTCH NARRATION, Oct. 10 2006
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sharp Objects: A Novel (Audio CD)

Exciting, promising, can't-put-it-down debut novels are hard to find - with Gillian Flynn's "Sharp Objects," it seems we've found one more to add to that all too brief list. It's a stunning story, tightly crafted, and appropriately chilling.
Now a reporter for a class C Chicago newspaper, Camille Preaker is a survivor. Her recent past includes a stay in a psychiatric hospital where she was treated for various disorders, including self-mutilation. At the age of 13 she carved "queasy" around her stomach and at 29 "vanish" on her neck. Troubled? In spades.
However, it looks like she may get a break as she's assigned to cover what is probably a serial killer story. On the downside is the fact that the scene of the crime is her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri, a place she left some eight years ago. She doesn't want to return but the thought of a career making yarn is too tempting and off she goes, back to an old house that holds unhappy memories and a mother who gives new meaning to neurotic.
Two young girls have been murdered, and the local police seem to think a transient is responsible. A handsome profiler from Kansas City doesn't think the answer is as easy as that. Throughout the investigation Camille is forced to relive childhood trauma and confront ghosts that have haunted her through the years.
Those who enjoy psychological thrillers will have found a winner in "Sharp Objects," especially as read by actress Ann Marie Lee. Well remembered for her stage and television performances, she inhabits Camille's persona with nuance and modulation. As the climax approaches we find ourselves listening even more intently as Lee's voice builds, leading the way.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fascinating...Thrilling...Stunning...Amazing, Sep 26 2008
Par Kyle Mills (Ajax, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Sharp Objects: A Novel (Paperback)
From my Grade 10 response essay - September 2008
--------

The main character of Sharp Objects is Camille Preaker, a thirty-some year-old journalist for a "second-rate" Chicago newspaper. She has just been released from a psychiatric hospital. Gillian Flynn, the author, does a good job at making all of the characters seem realistic and the careful wording she chooses causes the reader to feel sympathetic to the problems that the main character is facing. Camille is sent to her home-town, Wind-Gap, to write a report on two missing girls. Camille has to overcome tragic memories and face her family, who she hasn't seen in eight years. The novel also explores the struggle that Camille has in overcoming her compulsiveness to cut herself and carve words into her body. Flynn keeps the readers interested in Camille's conflicts by wrapping them into a storyline about the missing children.

The story takes place in a small town of just over two thousand people. The small-town atmosphere is important because everybody knows each other and knows one another's personal struggles. Camille acquires most of her information from other people's gossip about fellow "Wind-gapians". The entire town is described in great detail, right down to the names of the restaurants, how many bars there are and the economical housing divisions within the town. My grandparents live in a small town of under two-hundred people so I think I can relate to how Camille, and all others who were raised in Wind-Gap for that matter, may feel claustrophobic and want to get out. I can also relate to how John Nash, the brother of one of the missing children, might have felt after moving from a big city. Overall I liked the small-town setting and I believe that it is necessary to the story's plot.

I think that the main theme of the novel is about how family conflicts can eventually cause so much damage that they can ruin people's lives. This is demonstrated in the psychological problems that Camille is facing after her father left, her sister died and her mother re-married. There are also other themes that come through like the necessity to overcome grief. This is demonstrated by the grief that Camille's mother still holds onto from her daughter's death. After reading this novel, I know I will try to always resolve conflict within my family quickly so it cannot escalate into a major, more severe problem.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A great book., Aoû 4 2008
Par A. Laforest - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sharp Objects: A Novel (Paperback)
For those who expect a typical "mystery-thriller" book, really focused on the investigation part, this is not the book for you. However, if you're open to something deeper, more disturbing and smarter, go on.

I think this is more about psychology than mystery. Sure, the storyline about the two murdered pre-teens is very important, but there's a lot more. It's about the protagonist journey, how is she going to deal with her problems, her family, her past.

A very smart, extremely well-written, excellent book.
