	Lucky : A Memoir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		With Lucky she delivers on that promise with mordant wit and an eye for life's absurdities, as she describes what she was like both as a young girl before the rape and how that rape changed but did not sink the woman she later became.
		This year my son gave me LUCKY and I was blown away by the author's ability to move me through the horrific experiences she endured and feel somehow I too had triumphed over trauma in the end.
		Lucky is a very well written story that conveys the confusion and meaningless of the attack Alice encounters and the effects it has on her, her friends and family, and the community.

	Nancy McCabe. -Book Review "Lucky" by Alice Sebold for Literary Potpourri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As a memoir, Lucky lacks the brilliant novelistic artifice of The Lovely Bones, a wrenching and riveting yet surprisingly funny, transcendent account of the aftermath of a teenage girl's rape and murder--told from the perspective of the girl, now in heaven.
		Telling Lucky's story simply and directly, Sebold achieves comparable harrowing and often funny and inspiring effects as she recounts her brutal rape as a college freshman at Syracuse University and the aftermath--and as in The Lovely Bones, from the first page Sebold reveals her propensity for taking narrative risks.
		The memoir begins with the violent attack, plunging readers immediately into the excruciating particulars of the assault, told with such precise scenic details that it is both deeply unsettling to read and impossible to put down.

	Books - A Memoir of Michael J. Fox
		Safe to say that if it were not for Michael J. Fox’s bold statement before the press in September 1998 and subsequent appearances in Congress and on T.V., Parkinson’s Disease (P.D.) would be not so prominent a subject today or at the center of the controversy surrounding stem cell research.
		Lucky Man has much to recommend to that second readership—indeed, perhaps, even to the younger first, since Fox himself came down with the disease at the relatively rare young age of 30.
		In one of the most touching parts of the book, MJF extends a wise and compassionate invitation to his curious and no doubt frightened young son to be his scout for the twitching hand — to take charge, squeeze it, control it.

	Reviews
		Lucky is a memoir of Sebold’s life and how it was forever altered at the age of eighteen when she was raped in a park near her university campus.
		Early into the memoir, the reader becomes acutely aware of the reasons for detailing the rape scene as it is crucial to Sebold’s mission: to speak openly, honestly and intelligently about this still somewhat taboo subject.
		As opposed to Sebold’s memoir, Lucky, which begins with a detailed account of a rape, The Lovely Bones is more subtle in the details of the actual moment of the crime, although still gruesome and repugnant.

	Lucky : A Memoir (ISBN 0316096199): Very Well Said
		"Lucky" is a true story about author Alice Sebold, who was attacked and raped in a park on the last day of school during her freshman year of college.
		Although people constantly tell her that she is lucky to have survived the attack, Alice's life is forever changed as a result of what happened to her.
		"Lucky" is an extremly detailed, interesting book that paints the realistic story of the rape of a young woman and the changes in her life afterwards.

	Lucky Man: A Memoir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Lucky Man, by Michael J. Fox, is a celebrity memoir...which means that readers will approach the book with everything they think they know about the actor, and they will include in that supposed knowledge what they've absorbed of his television and film work.
		Lucky Man, as a memoir, would be helped by a few things, the first being a table of contents, since Fox tells his story thematically rather than chronologically.
		It's saved by not being a memoir of his career or family, but in supporting his thesis: He is a lucky man—not in spite of Parkinson's, but because of it.

	Lucky Man : A Memoir (ISBN 0786888741): Very Well Said
		His memoir is broken into segments of his life, and Fox summarily describes his Canadian upbringing, how he dropped out of high school to pursue acting in Hollywood, and the years he struggled until he hit financial and celebrity success with "Family Ties" and the "Back to the Future" trilogy.
		With Lucky Man, Michael J. Fox has proven that he is not only a great actor in both comedic and dramatic venues, but he is also an amazing writer with a knack for storytelling.
		Lucky Man is a stylishly written, self-deprecating memoir that will be irresistible to Michael J. Fox fans and those who have a loved one suffering from Parkinson's disease.

	ALICE SEBOLD
		Her memoir Lucky ends, "I live in the world where the two truths co-exist, where both hell and hope live in the palm of my hand." She gets up at 3am to work because she likes writing in the dark, but she lives in the California sunshine.
		It is not Lucky, however, that has shot her into the literary stratosphere, the one that secures the packed publicity schedule of a Hollywood star and suites in the Savoy, such as the one we're sitting in now.
		Sebold is frank and unpretentious, and her memoir opens with an extremely graphic and brutal account of the rape itself.

		She was forced onto the ground in a tunnel "among the dead leaves and broken beer bottles." The police said she should consider herself to be lucky because at least she wasn't murdered and dismembered like the girl before her.
		The doubtful “luck” is the focus in her memoir, "Lucky".
		This memoir isn’t an overemotional recollection nor “sugar-coated”, which may be difficult for some to take, as it was for me at times.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Lucky Man: A Memoir at Epinions.com
		Now Fox has written one of the most genuinely honest, touching and moving show biz bios ever, Lucky Man. But it is MORE than a show biz bio, because it deals with how his life was impacted by Parkinson's disease, how he coped with it, accepted it and how he wants to help others.
		Lucky Man should be titled Lucky Us, because anyone who reads it can't help walking away from it a mite richer, inspired, and more appreciative of the fact that the upsides and downsides of life sometimes coincide...but, overall, it can be a joyous ride.
		"Lucky Man: A Memoir" isn't a sordid who-kissed-who, but a take the blame, but say it without whining tale of one man's life.

		One eloquently written excerpt in Lucky Man, summarizes the impact of PD on his life: "Before P.D., at a time when outwardly I was the picture of confidence and physical agility, happiness, and success, inwardly I harbored self-doubt, was out of balance, and relied on alcohol to tip the scales.

	Hoarded Ordinaries: Lucky: A Memoir by Alice Sebold
		I didn't mean to start reading Lucky, Alice Sebold's memoir of her rape as a college freshman.
		The title Lucky comes from Sebold's later realization that a girl had been murdered on the spot where she was raped: as police investigators informed her, she was "lucky" only to have been brutalized.
		Although "lucky" isn't the first word most women would associate with the word "rape," Sebold is lucky to have survived with her wits and even a dark sense of humor intact.

		Unlike any other book or memoir, Lucky is a book that is truly heart-moving.Haunting, (yet true) this book will be disturbing at times, but it shows us the true horrible nature of rape, pain, depressin, and other commonly found problems.
		When I skimmed the back cover to determine what it was about, I was surprised to find that it was an autobiography of her brutal rape while she attended Syracuse University.
		Lucky was a blunt memoir of the author's experience with rape.

	Alice Sebold
		It wasn’t until more than 15 years after the rape that Sebold was able to begin the research that allowed her to write about the experience and its aftermath.
		Lucky is a powerful narrative of the effect of both the violence of rape and the harmfulness of society’s usual reaction to the rape victim.
		And Alice’s brief visit to a psychiatrist turns out no better; it’s worth reading Lucky just to hear what this doctor, a woman, has to say to Alice about her experience.

		Sebold launches her memoir headlong into the rape itself, laying out its visceral physical as well as mental violence, and from there spins a narrative of her life before and after the incident, weaving memories of parental alcoholism together with her post-rape addiction to heroin.
		In the midst of each wrenching episode, from the initial attack to the ensuing courtroom drama, Sebold's wit is as powerful as her searing candor, as she describes her emotional denial, her addiction and even the rape (her first "real" sexual experience).
		Sebold was raped as a college freshman, but the police said she was "lucky." At least she wasn't murdered and dismembered like the girl before her.

		In what would have been the middle of a successful career in both film and television, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, a condition that eventually led to his retirement from in front of the cameras (though he continued to contribute his voice to a number of successful animated films).
		In this memoir, he recounts his life and career, his battle with alcohol, and, of course, his ongoing struggle with Parkinson's.
		The acclaimed actor offers an intimate, heartwarming account of his life, his meteoric rise to success in television and film, his struggle with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative neurological condition that usually affects the elderly, and his fierce campaign to find a cure for the ailment.

	Lucky Man: A Memoir by Michael J. Fox \| PopMatters Book Review
		Three years later, this ongoing story takes a new turn for his admirers, from discovery and a sense of mourning for Fox to feeling empowered by his emotional leap from despair to acceptance.
		In Lucky Man, Fox effectively enables his readers to understand many of the problems facing himself and other Parkinson's Disease [PD] patients, from the debilitating physical effects of the disease to the amazing inner support of the PD community.
		It takes him five years to finally come to terms with PD and increase his own understanding of the disease, all the while attempting not to cut himself off from others also working to accept it.

	Sebold, Alice: Lucky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When Alice Sebold, author of the best-selling novel, The Lovely Bones (see this database), was completing her freshmen year at Syracuse University, she was assaulted and raped.
		The book's title, "Lucky," is explained in the prologue: the police told Sebold that she was lucky to have escaped the fate of another girl who had been murdered and dismembered in the same spot.
		In point of fact, Sebold, a virgin before the rape, was in a sense murdered, since life as she had known it would never be the same: "My life was over; my life had just begun" (33).
