Book Review of Lucy

Lucy
reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


Jenny seems to be a bit naive about bringing Lucy into mainstream America. She basically just dumps her in school without introducing her to civilization. She wants to be her mom but, apparently, because of her age and lack of family she just doesn't understand how to be that. Lucy is a child who has never had any experience with humans besides her father and Jenny and only uses her animal instincts to decide how to survive. It could have been extended more into the family experience but all in all it's a pretty good story. The description of how and why she came to America is very good.. probably one of the better and more believable parts of the story.
