    I was really engrossed in this book. It's probably not something everyone will enjoy though. I think the reason why it was a page turner for me is because of her fighting attitude.

    had to have been very cathartic for Sebold to write this memoir of her rape

    Read this in one day - an excellent, moving, triumphant memoir by a woman who had been sexually assaulted during her freshman year in college.

    After reading These Lovely Bones I was expecting something else but it was I am sure it was cathartic for the author. Some of the book is certainly disturbing.
