Who should read this book??

In my opinion this book would appeal to younger adults and adults. You definitely need to be an older audience because of the content of the book. I wouldn't use the word appealing, because the subject of being raped is not a good thing, but what attracts people to the book is that it is real and that it is descriptive.

If you are a student who is going to read this book, prepare yourself. You may have read other books such as "Speak" that is also about a rape story, but it doesn't compare to the graphics and details that Alice Sebold goes into. Before you start reading, make sure you understand that it is a memoir, and that nothing is made up. I think its also important for people to realize that this is only one case, and that this happens everyday. As far as discussion goes, you will want to discuss the entire book. Its not just one thing that happens, she goes through problems of rape, drugs, and finding friends who want to be around her.

The ENTIRE book is "mature content". She gets raped and describes in full detail; how when and where. Although it was kind of depressive and gross at some time, i didn't want to stop reading. I would highly suggest this be available for other students to read. It might not be appropriate to discuss in class, but its a great book.

Lucky

I thought that the book was going to be good. I really like it but since im pregnant it's really hard for me to read the descrptivenss of the book. I like reading about stuff like this because for one it is a true stoy and it just kind of reminds me that it could actually happen to me no matter where you are or how protective you are.
I don't know to much about the author just that she wrote the book Lovely Bones. I knew that Lucky was about her being raped. I choose this book because i thought it was going to be good. From what i have read so far, the book is outstanding, I love it. I actually want to keep reading more and maybe ready her other novels that relate to her rape. I normally read more of the murder books and stuff that i can relate to real life with.

I Dont Have A Book

What do i expect from this book? I think it will be good. All i know about it is that it is about a girls struggles of getting through being raped. Although it is a terrible thing, it's also true that people are interested in reading it. I've heard from other people who have already started the book that it is really detailed and in depth. I'm excited to read it because i think it will be fun to read, and not boring at all. I like to read books about the real world like drugs, alcohol, teenage issues, sex, and i also like books about love. Someone who is really good at writing, my favorite author is Sarah Dessen. My favorite books are Twilight and The Truth About Forever.

I usually pick books by their covers. If its not pretty, then i probably wouldn't want to read it. Looking at the book lucky, i want to read it and that is why i picked it. It seems like the closest book to what i would like. I hope that it is interesting and that it stays that way throughout the entire book.
