Review: A few years back I watched The lovely bones, A great novel and Incredible movie by Alice Sebold. I can remember the emotions I felt as a young teen while I sat and watched the heartbreaking story of a girl who had been lured into a make shift ¨club house¨ then tortured and killed by her neighbor, while also leading her family to her disappeared body. You can guess the feelings I had for my neighbors after I watched this.
A few weeks ago I was assigned to pick a book of my choice. Lucky Caught my eye immediatly. I didnt notice the author as someones books I had read before although, the cover intrigued me to dive deeper. As I began to research Alice Sebold and her book Lucky I noticed she had also wrote the award winning novel The lovely bones. This made me even more interested. As I began to read Lucky, Sebold jurks you into this crime spell almost immedialy into the first paragragh. Emotions start to spill, a young womens dignity had been ripped right from her. She was a rape victim. As The author explains the gruesome details of Alice´s attack Its almost like youre their with her, feeling her pain however she keeps a brave face and continues to move on through her life as her family willows in her sarrow. All of the emotions captured in this books makes you realize how real something like this could be. And it was.
Alice Sebold Uses her books as an opening and safe place to express what she went through as a young girl who had also been tortured and sexually assaulted. Her books shine through how she got through her experiences. I am inspired by her courageous ways and belief to seek her problems through even with the courts dening her and friends scawlding her. Alice somehow protrays her character as a fighter to get justice of her attacker once and for all. This book Is Honestly exceptional and should be recommended to all especially those who have gone through a similar experience. Her ways of writing truly inspired me and expanded my knowledge now that I am older. I will be looking forward to researching some more of her books in the future now that I better understand the authors writing.
