Lucky - Alice Seabold

[DisasterArea]

does it get easier? am traumatised by first few chapters.

kind of but it isn't a very positive story

worth reading though. Life enhancing in a weird way.

it does. in a way. it is worth perservering with. it is a very astute and compelling book

willl go back to it later. just a bit harrowing.

really hard going. Made me very uncomfortable in parts. Have you read the lovely bones?

Very difficult but important read. Far superior to the lovely bones which I found mawkish and just awful really...

Very hard going and uncomfortable, but definitely worth completing.

I started reading it and found it quite disturbing. Kept meaning to finish it but never did. Will go back to it at some point as I do want to know the ending.

im pretty sure that this book was based on what happened to her when she was at college i saw or read an interview with her and she was talking about it.

i have read most of it but its one of those books i keep going off then going back too. ive also read lovely bones and i thought this was a good book.

yes Lucky is autobigraphical The Lovely Bones is loosely based on her own experience and sort of as an alternative outcome.
