    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.

    intense and heartbreaking premise, but the writing is irresistible. I appreciate the way the characters are created and developed, and the story unfolds nicely.

    This book was a tear jerker; very heart felt and strong. It is a true story of Alice Sebold, the author, and how, when in college, she was raped. It expands from the night it happened, flashing back to her childhood, and continues through to the trial. I loved this book, and will definately reread it. I recommend it to girls fourteen and older. It might be too graphic for younger kids.

    it made me aware as a women (at the time) about to go off to college, of the dangers of college campuses. i think this book could help rape victims to see how someone as dealt with it
