Sharp Objects: Objetos Cortantes
Gillian Flynn
Em seu romance de estreia, Gillian Flynn, a autora de Garota exemplar, dá um novo significado à expressão "família disfuncional". Aclamado pela crítica e por autores como Stephen King, o thriller psicológico Objetos cortantes recebeu da Crime Writer's Association os prestigiosos prêmios Ian Fleming Steel Dagger e John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger. Recém-saída de um hospital psiquiátrico, a repórter Camille Preaker tem um desafio pela frente: retornar à sua cidade natal para investigar o brutal assassinato de uma menina e o desaparecimento de outra. Desde que deixou a pequena Wind Gap, no Missouri, oito anos antes, Camille quase não falou com a mãe neurótica, o padrasto e a meia-irmã que praticamente não conhece. Hospedada na casa da família, a jornalista precisa lidar com as memórias difíceis de sua infância e adolescência. E à medida que as investigações para elaborar sua matéria avançam, Camille passa a desvendar segredos perturbadores, tão macabros quanto os problemas que ela própria enfrenta.

This was a very hard book to read, despite being so short. The whole atmosphere and the characters were kinda creepy and it left me feeling queasy. Also, I really disliked almost all the characters. BUT I was really satisfied with the ending and Gillian Flynn knows how to write a good mystery - she creates this unique atmosphere that pulls you in quickly and you can't help but put yourself inside the protagonists' head, and she creates complex and twisted female villains. I also like the psychological aspect of the book, how mentally screwed the characters are and how she deals with this during the novel.
It also had this unexpected plot twist that left me very excited, because I thought for most of the book that it would end one way, and when it seemed that everything I imagined had happened, I was really disappointed. But it turned out that the author pulled the rug from under me at the very end! I really like when this kind of stuff happens in mystery/thriller novels! I'm also enjoying the HBO adaptation a lot, it's very faithful to the original but translated very well to the screen and Amy Adams is amazing in it!
