Lucky Audiobook

" This book is not for the "squeamish" Alice Sebold goes into depth about how she was raped as a college student. Based on a true story, she tells about how it changed her life, story is very detailed!!! and if you like court cases then you will really enjoy this book. It did make me more alert and nervous to walk alone but overall it is a novel i definitely recommend if you want a quick change from your romantic teen novels. "

" Such an inspiring an compelling memoirs, the journey you take with Sebold is one you never will forget. "

" A true story of the amazing ability of humankind to work through trauma and thrive. "

" Riveting from the first page. "

" This was a very sad and fearful read for me. I'm filled with empathy for the author, but I am also very impressed she shared her story. "

" I started with lovely bones and loved it, but this book is so much better. More raw than most, and more true than you would sometimes like her to be, Alice Sebold's Lucky is heartbreakingly terrific. I cried through most of it, and immidiately read it again! "

" After reading "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold a few years ago, I really wanted to read her memoir, "Lucky." In captivating and frank way, Sebold shares intimate details about being raped while a student at Syracuse. The story begins with the night of the assault, and shows how it affects her throughout the rest of college and as she begins her career. "

" This autobiographical account of a rape victim is interesting, especially after reading her fiction book, The Lovely Bones. It's sad to see the long lasting effects on a victims's life, and the lives of everyone around them. I admire this author for going after the guy who did it rather than being scared into silence. "

" This is a well written book. I liked the story a lot. I feel that the author did a great job of sticking to the story w/o creating unnecessary pages. This is a very quick read, but I did not find it all that engaging. Def. something I would get from the library. "

" A terrifying personal account of a horrible fate to endure. A book that no doubt touches many in a way that is strong, loving, but brutally honest. Well worth the read. "

" Horrific and difficult to read at times but couldn't stop reading. "

" Wow, this book was very descriptive and I wasn't sure I would be able to get through it right from the beginning. I cannot believe what Alice went through but she is a very strong and amazing woman! A really great book! "

" Heartfelt, brutal, honest, and a revelation.... "

" Every American child should have to take a class in which they read this book in conjunction with "Are Women Human?" and then talk about rape. Maybe then the cultural attitude surrounding rape would change. "

" I didn't enjoy this, no matter how you write the subject matter for me is just to real. I preferred Lovely Bones, but only slightly more than this. "

" I read this novel for a women lit class. We were supposed to read a couple of chapters a week...I read the entire book in one setting. Such an amazing read and it gripped me from beginning to end. Strongly recommend it. "

" Alice Sebold has given us an insight into the happenings after she was brutally raped in such a way that I could feel the emotions with Alice. I cannot belive that so many bad things could happen to one person, let alone things like that. "

" I preferred The Lovely Bones, but it was a completely different type of story. Alice Sebold has a way of drawing you into her stories and feeling them as if they were your own. "

" Amazing, inspirational book. Had circles of emotions as I read. "

" I can't say I would necessarily recommend this book, although it was engaging and very well written. It's graphic nature an subject matter are quite jarring. "

" I read this book because I had enjoyed reading the Lovely Bones. This book is the true story of the author's experience of being raped. It was very emotional and I liked reading her story, it was just very depressing. "

" It was really good, but crazy disturbing. "

" Easily the worst book that I have ever read. Ever. "

" A gripping story. I couldn't put it down, which surprised me because I couldn't stand "the lovely bones." "

" Heartfelt, brutal, honest, and a revelation.... "

" Non-fiction. Allice Sebold, writer of Lovely Bones, tells her own story of her rape during college and its effect on her. "

" A brave and honest memoir about rape, its victims, and its aftermath, Lucky is an important read. I think many women will relate to her feelings, especially her feeling of being "spoiled." "

" Her story is so sad, but she shows really strong resilience. Much better than The Lovely Bones. Glad I read before heading off to college. "

" I connected so forcefully with this book. I think it is one of the few real honest views on rape and what the aftermath can be like for a person and their family. As a survivor it really resonated with me. "

" this was such a great book "

" Disturbing but remarkable story of rape and recovery. "

" Very scary and sad but a really good read. I actually enjoyed her memoir more than her fiction. "

" hits you over the head from the beginning and doesn't stop. her story is just incredible. "
