Title: Warning to rape survivors
Review: This is a well written book that brings the reader along and allows them to feel like they are living out the story. That being said, it was a really hard read for me.I am a rape survivor, and this book brought out a lot of feelings that I thought I had left behind me (with the help of plenty of counseling!). My situation was completely different from Ms. Sebold's, but it seems that many of the feelings associated with rape are universal. I felt revictimized for a few days after reading the book. Also, I had to take many breaks while reading because panic attacks would come on during some of the more intense moments.This was a great book, and I don't want to discourage anyone from reading it. However, I think that it is important for other survivors to know what they are getting into.
