Title: Amazing
Review: As a Syracuse resident, reading this book was all the more difficult because Sebold does such an excellent job of bringing the city to life. Not only did I feel "there" during the attack, the investigation, and the court scenes, I now look at my city in a completely different way. The beautiful amphitheater at Thornden Park is now foreboding, the cultural center of Westcott darker, somehow. That is how real this memoir is. Alice Sebold sucked me into her world in 1981. This memoir was nail-bittingly intense, and, at times, poignantly funny. I couldn't put it down.
