Reviews
"A compulsively readable psychological thriller that marks Ýa¨ dazzling debut...ÝFlynn¨ has written a clever crime story with astonishing twists and turns, and enough suspense for the most demanding fans of the genre. But it is the sensitive yet disturbing depiction of her heroine that makes this an especially engrossing story...Flynn's empathic understanding of her major characters leads to storytelling that is sure and true, and it marks her a write to watch." - "Chicago Sun-Times" "To say this is a terrific debut novel is really too mild. I haven't read such a relentlessly creepy family saga since John Farris's "All Heads Turn as the Hunt Goes By," and that was thirty years ago, give or take. "Sharp Objects" isn't one of those scare-and-retreat books; its effect is cumulative. I found myself dreading the last thirty pages or so but was helpless to stop turning them. Then, after the lights were out, the story just stayed there in my head, coiled and hissing, like a snake in a cave. An admirably nasty piece of work, elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights." - Stephen King "Not often enough, I come across a first novel so superb that it seems to have been written by an experienced author, perhaps with 20 earlier books to his or her credit. I'm extremely excited to discover my first debut blowout this year, a sad, horrifying book called Sharp Objects...ÝFlynn¨ is the real deal. Her story, writing and the characters will worm their way uncomfortably beneath your skin...But this is more literary novel than simple mystery, written with anguish and lyricism. It will be short-listed for one or more important awards at the end of the year...Sharp Objects is a 2006 favoriteso far. I doubt I'll ever forget it." -" Cleveland Plain Dealer" "A deeply creepy exploration of small-town Midwestern values and boasts one of the most deliciously dysfunctional families to come along in a while...ÝFlynn¨ handles the narrative with confidence and a surprisingly high level of skill...Wind Gap ends up the sort of place you'd never want to visit. But with "Sharp Objects," you're in no hurry to leave." - "San Francisco Chronicle" "Brilliant...Powerful, mesmerizing...A stunning, powerful debut from someone who truly has something to say." - "San Jose Mercury News" "One of the best and most disturbing books I have read in a long time...Flynn never stoops to the gratuitous, and the torment produces haunting characters that hung around my imagination long after I had finished the book. Her skillful blending of old tragedies with new culminated in an 'oh-my-gosh' moment that I never saw coming. This book simply blew me away." - "Kansas City Star" "Don't look here for the unrelenting self-deprecation and the moping over men common chick lit...I promise you'll be thoroughly unnerved at the end." - "Newsweek" "First-time novelist Flynn is a natural-born thriller." - "People Style Watch" "A witty, stylish, and compelling debut. A real winner." - Harlan Coben "Flynn delivers a great whodunit, replete with hinting details, telling dialogue, dissembling clues. Better yet, she offers appalling, heartbreaking insight into the darkness of her women's lives: the Stepford polish of desperate housewives, the backstabbing viciousness of drug-gobbling, sex-for-favors "Mean Girls," the simmering rage bound to boil over. Piercingly effectiveand genuinely terrifying." - "Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) "Fans of psychological thrillers will welcome narrator/Chicago "Daily Post" reporter Camille Preaker with open arms...As first-time novelist Flynn expertly divulges in this tale reminiscent of the works of Shirley Jackson, there is much more to discover about Wind Gap and, most of all, about Camille." - "Library Journal" "This impressive debut novel is fueled by stylish writing and compelling portraits...In a particularly seductive narrative style, Flynn adopts the cynical, knowing patter o, " A first novel that reads like the accomplished work of a long-time pro, the book draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction...Flynn's book goes deeper than your average thriller. It has all the narrative drive of a serious pop novel and much of the psychological complexity of a mainstream character study. All in all, a terrific debut." - Alan Cheuse, "The Chicago Tribune" " A compulsively readable psychological thriller that marks [a] dazzling debut...[Flynn] has written a clever crime story with astonishing twists and turns, and enough suspense for the most demanding fans of the genre.

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book.

The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
