Sharp Objects

by Gillian Flynn

I've read this book 1 time and given it an average score of 3 (out of 4).

I liked it less than Gone Girl. The good, deep characterization was there, but some of the other themes I cared for less. Definitely a creepier story, too. The mystery was less compelling and the book sort of read like a haze (which could have easily been a creative decision). Not bad, good easy brutal vacation reading, but not her best.
