Book Review of Lucky

Lucky
Lucky
Author: Alice Sebold
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


This book captured my interest from the first page. I read it only 2 short days finding the time with my 18 month old daugther to do so at naps and bedtime. I could not put the book down. I was able to relate to the characters and follow along at a quick pace. I was not expected the book to be quite as graphic and detailed as it was, so as long as you are not squeemish at the gruesome facts of rape, you will also be captivated as to how a rape victim was able to survive life and learn not how to allow being a victim define the person she became. Though many hardships and struggles were presented to the character along the way, above all, she was able to overcome.
