Book Reviews of Lucky: A Memoir
Book Review: "Lucky", By Alice Sebold
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading ,"The Lovely Bones", I felt i understood Alice Sebold's style of writing. However, she managed to amaze me once again with her memoir,"Lucky". The idea of being raped is inconceivable to me, but her vivd detail and precise recollections of her horrible experience, allows the reader to at least begin to understand what she must have gone through. I never put the book down. The book Started off with chilling accounts of the night her rape happened, and continued intriguing the reader. The events in the book held my attention at all times. I also admire Alice Sebold for her courage and ability to share her rape experience with the world. In the book, she remained so incredibly strong, even at times where she could have easily just given up her struggle to find and send her rapist to prison. Her family in the memoir was very paculiar. Alice seemed to always be the care-giver for them, even though she was the one who needed to be taken care of after her rape. While I know her parents cared about what happened to her, they seem to still be wrapped up in their own world, and their own agendas. I particularly loved Alice's cut-to-the-chase attitude, and her hatred for being pitied. She wanted to be treated as a normal human being, not as a lost cause, just because she had been raped. I also admired her ability to carry on and try new relationships with other men, even after her rape. I give this book four stars ,and recommend this book to everyone , since everyone can learn from Sebold's experience, and can sympathize to what she must have been feeling at the time. If you liked "The Lovely Bones", you'll love "Lucky".
