Why she might be annoying:

    Her works are all dark and violent.
    'Lucky' is a semi-autobiographical account of Sebold's actual experience as a rape victim, 'The Lovely Bones' is about the ghost of a 14 year old girl who is raped and murdered, and 'The Almost Moon' is about a woman who murders her mother.

    She enrolled in graduate school at the University of Houston and UC Irvine but didn't graduate from either.
    She used heroin for two years.
