has anyone read this book? i just started reading it this morning. im only up to page 28, and fuck it is disturbing. its so graphic. based on actual events.
This is her story from where she got aspects to write The Lovely Bones, as Sebold got raped, and the bloke who raped her, the girl before Sebold, he chopped into pieces - Susie Salmon from The Lovely Bones.

i was thinking of reading this book...what is the end verdict? too graphic? interesting? etc

I didn't like Lucky, as it brought up some feelings that were way too personal [friend raped and murdered]. I did like The Lovely Bones though, that was really well written and so haunting. I'll be doing it for EE1 Genre: Crime Fiction, as a text.

I'm thinking of reading both her books but oh gosh, it sounds too intense to read alone.

I read Lucky, I agree it was really graphic and quite disturbing, the middle bit where shes at home and just gets around in her nightie is a bit too longwinded and boring but its a fairly compelling read.
