I have to agree with what a friend who wrote: "This is a great book. It had me hooked from the first few pages and I finished it in a day. I couldn't put it down, so why only a four star rating out of five? It was too predictable..."

It was simply one of those books that drew you in from the beginning and even though you might have a preconceived notion of how it might end, you keep reading just so you find out how it actually does end. It is also true that a good 50 or 60 pages in I already knew who the killer was.

Sharp Objects...a teeny, tiny glimpse into one person's struggle with cutting. Moreover, the world that pushed her into cutting and the murder of two girls as a cover story to return to that world. Intriguing enough, no?

Last thought about this book: Could Camille Preaker's problem revolve around the love of words and a hate for one's self?
