I have to say that I enjoyed Gillian's books very much. I, personally, hated the ending to Gone Girl, but her books are very well developed and written.

Great Author

This is a new author for me. I wanted to see "Gone Girl" at the movie theatre. I read the book "Gone Girl" first. I loved it. It had a great twist.

I did not care for the book "Dark Places". The characters were not very likeable and I predicted the end.

"Sharp Objects" was a great book. Camille (The main character) was very likeable. Camille goes back home to investigate the death of two children. Set in a small town, where everyone knows your business. Great plot twist. I cannot wait Great Author

All three of these novels are excellent! Complex and interesting stories that are each unique and surprising, yet retain the voice and style of this very talented writer. I have read these multiple times and they are still fresh. Flynn is just that good!

Once I began reading I couldn't get through a single day without flipping through at least a few chapters. Each book is such an addictive read and a great crime case to pick apart and solve. I will be forever a devoted fan. I anxiously await what's to come!

I loved all three books! Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you craving more. There were definitely some twists I was not expecting which made the books fun to read. I would recommend all three books.

This is three books in one (Gone Girl, Dark Places, and Sharp Objects). Although all three books took a walk on the dark side of human nature, I thought Ms. Flynn was quite an engaging writer, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one. I was inspired to read the first book, Gone Girl, after watching the movie. As is often the case, the book was far better than the movie because of the book's ability to more-fully capture the characters' thoughts and feelings.

I bought this because Gone Girl was included and had been recommended to me many times. After reading Gone Girl, Dark Places and Sharp Objects, I actually liked the last two better than the more popular Gone Girl.

Gillian Flynn shot into our lives through Gone Girl. It took me forever but in the end, I did jump on the bandwagon. I enjoyed it… right up until the end. The ending to the book was a disappointment for me. Wanting to see if her two other books would have a more satisfying ending I picked them up when I found them on offer. Unfortunately, these books had the same effect upon me.

In short, I find Gillian Flynn wonderful right up until the end. As it stand, though, she has yet to write an ending I’ Gillian Flynn shot into our lives through Gone Girl.

Complete Gone Dark

All 3 stories held me captive. Gillians' stories are complete, gone, dark. Twists and unforseen endings lead to frantic page turning. Great author.

I read Sharp Objects for my book club, and read the other two because I became hooked on the way Gillian Flynn writes about dark, crazed situations, sociopaths, and the people interacting with them.

4.5 stars.
Okay, I know this book gets a lot of hype, but it is so good! I actually did something I try very hard not to do - I watched the movie first (gasp!) to see if I cared to read the book. That's how concerned I was about all this hype. And despite the fact that the movie starred Ben Affleck, who I personally do not enjoy watching (although he fit this role perfectly), I really enjoyed the film. And the book is (of course) even better. The plot is just so insane, and I'm fairly certain I 4.5 stars.

I will say that you will despise almost all of the characters in this book, and if that is something that drives you crazy, you will not enjoy the experience of reading this. Personally, I can't wait to read more from Gillian Flynn! ...more

I tore through these books like they were on fire. I think Gillian Flynn is one of the most disturbed authors I have read in a long time (meant with utmost respect for her). I absolutely loved reading these books, and definitely felt disturbed by the characters at times. As an author, I would read more of her books in a heartbeat. I really like her style, and enjoyed the discomfort and torment I felt as I continued to turn the pages.

I like Sharp Objects more than Dark Places but overall all I can gather is Gillian Flynn hates women. I love reading about nuanced grey and even villainous women- but all her female characters have such an intense hated for other women. It's exhausting. I wish someone else had written sharp objects because the relationship between Amma and Camille was fascinating - a bit like we need to talk about Kevin.

Actually...

I first came across the TV series where I learned that it had been made out of this book. I watched the whole series in one sitting, and I read the book in the same way. It is a real page turner with unexpected twists and turns. But above all I admire the author’s deep understanding of the darkest corners of human soul and mind. As an avid reader for over sixty years, I can say that, unfortunatelly, there are only few authors that dare dig that deep.

Good read

Good read. At times very raw that made my clench. Made me very sad at times too. So detailed that you can actually get invested in the story. I would recommend it but to an adult audience

Another gripping Gillian Flynn novel

Creepy, disturbing and suspenseful!! Couldn't put it down! Gillian Flynn masters the storytelling of another dark tale. Looking forward to the movie adaptation.

Was a very good book. Definitely hard to put down. I did think that it was a little drawn out. It was very long. And I didn't like the ending. But it kept me interested and overall a good book.

Great family drama!

The books keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat! I enjoyed the family dynamics and the unexpected twists.
