Lucky: A Memoir (edit title)

• Rated 3 stars

“This book was good but I wasn't a page turner. The author really made me understand what a rape victim goes through...even long after it happens. Its a really depressing book but a true story.”

• Rated 4 stars

“Emotionally draining- cdertainly not for everybody. Best read by women who have a need to read about this subject. It would be extremely helpful to someone who is in need of (or is providing) support, hope, and encouragement in facing a similar horrifying experience. I admire the author's courage in writing this book- it will help others.”

“Couldn't rate this book...I couldn't handle reading it...Was too horrifying for me to experience what Alice went thru during her rape...”

• Rated 0 stars

“I had the opportunity to read this for a Women History Class. I recommend it for an older audience. It has very intense descriptions of Alice Sebold personal experiences. It is not peicullarly similar to the Lovely Bones, but I believe it makes it a little clearer how she came up with it.
It is very hard to read, but very worth it. It was nice to read a non sugar coated rape story with a continuing story not necessarily a happy ending. And in no way do I mean it is a depressing story but is definitely written by a realist.”

• Rated 4 stars

“Excellent book, keep me interested and didn't want to put it down.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Extremely good and very emotional.”

• Rated 0 stars

“Wow. Unbelievable what happened to this woman, and all the violence that followed her in her life. Hard to read, but worth it.”

• Rated 4 stars

“Almost as haunting as her previous book, the lovely bones, this one still gave me chills, as this is her memoir of being sexually assaulted as a college student.”

• Rated 3 stars

“This book was a very hard read. While the story was true, I found it brutally graphic and hard to get through. I appreciate the struggles Sebold has overcome in her life and admire her courage for sharing her story with the world. However, I finished the book with no emotions whatsoever. Not hope or pain, nothing. Lucky is truly a memoir in it's most raw form.”

• Rated 3 stars

“This was an amazing memoir of Alice Sebold's rape and the aftermath of it. I read this after reading The Lovely Bones. It helped me understand why she chooses such topics to write about. ”
