NASTY on her kneecap, BABYDOLL on her leg
Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory.
HARMFUL on her wrist, WHORE on her ankle
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.
With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable.

被原著的心理描写打动,自我压抑以及绝望无助着,感觉不到原生家庭的爱,脆弱敏感却又坚强伪装着,太特么感同身受了! “There was nothing I wanted to do more than be unconscious again,wrapped in black, gone away. I was raw. I felt swollen with potential tears, lik...

3.5吧,Flynn的平均水平(或以下),good enough as a debut。核心诡计和悬疑氛围还是相当不错的。但我真的受不了这个女主,并且由于作者并没有给出足够的暗示like我是应该在这里产生抵触,还是保持读者对主人公的天然的信任感,让我有几个瞬间真的是疑惑加恼火😫like how ca...

有声英文版。故事线还不错,黑暗压抑,可是人物形象实在不是我喜欢的风格。虽然我能理解女主的成长环境决定了她日后的性格,但是还是喜欢不了。

前半本太拖沓。相比之下美剧视觉化做得还挺不错。

并不喜欢这个故事,然而人物们渐渐被Gillian Flynn build起来的过程还满有趣的。

让人惊艳的处女作,我喜欢这本远远多于gone girl,可能是因为我更喜欢女主有精神疾病的设定。总之这种psychological thriller读起来就很爽。不过主题和gone girl类似,都是爱和嫉妒激起杀意吧,女人真是可怕的生物。
