Book Reviews of The Luckiest Girl in the World : A Young Skater Battles Her Self-Destructive Impulses
Book Review: A 1-dimensional but fascinating portrait of a young girl...
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this book was intended to raise awareness about "cutting," it also allows the reader to make a frightening journey into a disturbed human psyche. Katie and her problems are a bit cliched (as are the kind and gentle teacher and the ever-helpful therapist) and, as I said above, 1-dimensional, but the book is not spoiled by this. I am a 19 year old college student who has suffered from severe depression, so I was able to sympathize with Katie's out of control feelings. I recommend this book especially to people who have suffered from emotional disorders, but also to people who simply want to learn more about abnormal psychology.
