Lucky 3

While walking down the street, Alice meets her rapist. After being confronted by him, Alice goes to her dorm and calls 911. Gregory Madison was the man who raped Alice and changed her life forever. After multiple court appearances, and Alice having to take the stand Greg was found gulity. He was sentenced to between 8 and 25 years. Weeks after the conviction, Alice's roommate raped in Alice's bed. This was the part I hate most about this book. The rapist must have been friends with Greg because he knew about Alice. In addition, he broke Alices and Lillas trust. "Lucky" had a very strange begining but in the end it took Alice Sebold a lot of courage to write about her life and I have immense respect for her.
