The safety of objects

This was an interesting read. Being that it was my second book from A.M. Homes, I dropped all expectations and just be gung-ho about it. Boy was it a messed-up read. To say that this collection of short stories are disturbing is an understatement. This is an A.M. Homes sampler, for the new comers it might be a hit or miss, it all depends on your ‘weird-out' tolerance level. For me these stories were honest, raw and has an almost mirror-like effect on the reader. You might feel disgusted, touched, or even violated by these stories, but in away that is natural and real. Will I recommend this? ask yourself this, if you're willing to read twenty-something pages about a boy who is secretly dating his little sister's Barbie doll, then you already know if this is the kind of book for you or otherwise.
