Title: Heroic and Painfully Real
Review: I read the 'Lovely Bones' before reading 'Lucky' and I must admit that I was initially skeptical reading 'Lucky.' However, Sebold's account of the rape and her experience reveals that she is strong, yet human. The effects of the experience lingered with her long after it occured. In addition, it is quite enlightening to see how her personal experience may have influenced her "fictional" writing in the 'Lovely Bones'. What a therepeutic mechanism for overcoming such a devestating event!
