Sharp Objects or Dark Places?

Which Gillian Flynn novel did you like better? I already read Gone Girl and am looking for something else that's along those same lines.

    I haven't read Sharp Objects yet, but Dark Places was so, so good.  I've heard only fantastic things about Sharp Objects, too, so I feel like you can't go wrong.  I think they're both sort of darkly messed up like Gone Girl was, too.

    I liked them both but preferred Sharp Objects.  However, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority.

    Dark Places for sure.  IMO DP is her most f*cked up novel, but it's really good.

    I'll add that I did not figure out Dark Places at all.  I never saw it coming.

  • Dark Places, I also figured out Sharp Objects way too early on, Dark Places, I had no idea how it would end, and it was pretty great!

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman
