I had no idea that it was going to be the way it was and I was hooked into it. And there were so many parts of it that really made me feel a little..dirty, but Gillian Flynn does such a GREAT job with it that you end up really understanding why the character did what she did. Still made me want to take a shower after I read the story, though...!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-68408778158591880852010-07-27T23:11:06.787-04:002010-07-27T23:11:06.787-04:00Oh, man, I LOVE Gillian Flynn's books!

Always enjoyed her reviews when she was an <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> critic but had no idea she was capable of such twisted stuff. <br /><br />I didn't think I could handle <i>Sharp Objects</i> but it was so good I could not put it down. She also challenged my moral beliefs, which I found really interesting. You know how she defended her, ah, behavior with the football team to the journalist? It was disturbing but Flynn is such a gifted writer, she made me see it from Camille's POV despite my feeling skeevy about it.Pop Culture Nerdhttp://popculturenerd.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-64522285961620517042010-07-27T21:44:12.304-04:002010-07-27T21:44:12.304-04:00Jean -- Yes, this is definitely a much grittier an...Jean -- Yes, this is definitely a much grittier and darker novel, and it is so very, very good!

I'm all about the stories that are disturbing and freaky!<br /><br />Nadia & Sogni e Sorrisi - Prepare yourself for a really uncomfortable feeling as you read it; it's VERY good, but definitely not for the faint of heart, so tread lightly! I really enjoyed it, though, so not sure what that says about me...! :)Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-48229744905069300822010-07-18T14:05:56.307-04:002010-07-18T14:05:56.307-04:00Sounds like a great book--I've never heard of ...Sounds like a great book--I've never heard of it before, will have to check it out!Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisihttp://sognisorrisi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-71772845148897864332010-07-18T12:37:12.671-04:002010-07-18T12:37:12.671-04:00This books sounds intriguing.

I like them dark and twisted and confronting!<br /><br />I just reviewed a book called <i><a href="http://www.giraffedays.com/?p=4105" rel="nofollow">Dance with Snakes</a></i> from El Salvador that is very strange, but utterly engrossing. If you don't mind twisted stories, you might like this. And I've read a couple of reviews of <i>White is for Witching</i> by Helen Oyeyemi that makes me think I'd like it too - dark and creepy and experimental.

It's not for the faint of heart, BUT, if you're willing to take a chance, read the first couple chapters and see what you think. It's excellent, but deals with some very tough issues!<br /><br />I was up because it was freaky, but I was more stunned by everything I had just read -- everything that the character went through and dealt with, and how it's written...it had me thinking for days about it!!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-37905293397849396442010-07-17T15:35:06.711-04:002010-07-17T15:35:06.711-04:00This sounds so intriguing, but I don't do scar...This sounds so intriguing, but I don't do scary well....
