Title: Riveting in places. A great learning tool.
Review: While I can't say I loved the subject of this book (rape & violence) I'm glad I read it. It is an excellent book and well-written. The book was upsetting in the fact that it was true. It set off a lot of buried feelings in me. I am always amazed and impressed by women who go through things like this and come out whole on the other side. There often seems to be an underlying unfairness about the way rape victims are treated by law enforcement and some members of society. I read the book in one session, as I couldn't put it down.This is Alice Sebold's story and I admire her bravery in sharing it with the rest of us. I would recommend this book to anyone mature enough to understand the subject matter. There are probably some teens who would be able to appreciate and learn from it. Others may be too young, so I would suggest parental guidance.
