The only thing wrong with this book is that some students might not want to have an open discussion about it. The book really gets personal and no one knows who it could affect. Some students like myself are very open but others are not. The topic of rape is a very strong topic and can have a strong effect on some people.
There is a lot of mature content in the book Lucky. The book is all about rape and how rape can affect some ones life so much. This book should never be required to be read in class. I think that because this book deals with such a strong topic that students should have the right to choose if they want to read this book. Like is said perviously Alice Sebold explains her rape and the rape of her friend in great detail. In such great detail that i almost felt as if i was there with her.
I think that this book would appeal to the girls in the class. I don't think that the guys would like it so much. I think that they would get bored of it really fast. I say that girls would be more appealed to read it then guys would because as girls we can relate to the book in many ways that guys cannot.
The students that read about this book don't really need to know anything about rape. They just need to be ready for all the details and the in between. Since i am pregnant it was hard for me to get the book started because my stomach is so weak. I almost choose a different book having only read the first couple of pages. So for all you students that want to read the book lucky, prepare yourself first because it does get personal.
